Former President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump declared victory early this morning in West Palm Beach, Florida.
“I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected your 47th president and 45th chief executive,” Trump said in a speech to a room full of loyal supporters.
Joined on stage by Melania Trump, family members, close allies, and senior campaign advisers, Trump addressed supporters at his Mar-a-Lago club, envisioning a “golden age” for the United States. “America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate,” he stated, expressing confidence in his victory.
Vice-presidential candidate J.D. Vance added to the moment, calling it “the greatest political comeback in the history of the United States.”
“I ask every citizen in our country to join me in this noble and righteous endeavor. Success brings us together,” Trump said, reflecting on the unity he felt during his first term. He outlined his vision, emphasizing the need for strong borders, national security, and a robust military.
During his speech, Trump also praised Elon Musk—a significant donor to his re-election campaign—saying, “We have a new star, a star is born: Elon.”
