Former US President Donald Trump has declared himself the winner of the 2024 US presidential election, addressing his supporters in Florida.
Trump announced that Americans have given him an “unprecedented and powerful mandate.”
The Republican Party won crucial battleground states, including Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia.
According to US media outlet Fox News, Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris, securing his second term in the White House.
Fox News reports Trump with 277 electoral votes after winning several key states, including Pennsylvania, while Harris garnered 226 electoral votes.
Trump is set to become the first US president to serve two non-consecutive terms since Grover Cleveland in 1892, making him only the second in American history to do so.
Trump was first elected in 2016, defeating former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
He lost his re-election bid in 2020 to President Joe Biden amid the global coronavirus pandemic.
Meanwhile, Harris canceled her planned election night party following Trump’s significant lead.
