Donald Trump claims ‘magnificent victory’ as he looks set for White House return
The Republican nominee told his supporters ‘America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate’.
Donald Trump has declared he has won a “magnificent victory for the American people” as he looks on track to return to the White House as 47th President of the United States.
Mr Trump has told his supporters that “America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate”, after he was projected to win a number of crucial swing states ahead of Democrat candidate Kamala Harris.
He said that he would not let his backers down and that it is “time to put the divisions of the past four years behind us”, as he looks likely to win the presidency for the second time.
Addressing a campaign party in Florida in the early hours of Wednesday, Mr Trump pledged to “fight” for “every citizen” and promised the “golden age of America”.
He said: “Every single day I will be fighting for you with every breath in my body.
“I will not rest until we have delivered the strong, safe and prosperous America that our children deserve, and that you deserve.”
He added: “This is a magnificent victory for the American people that will allow us to make America great again.”
Minutes before he took to the stage at a campaign party in Florida, it was projected that Mr Trump had won in the state of Pennsylvania, after victories in North Carolina and Georgia, swing states where the race with his Democrat rival has been closely fought.
Before he left the stage in Florida, Mr Trump vowed to not let his supporters down, and told them “It’s time to put the divisions of the past four years behind us. It’s time to unite.”
He added: “Success is going to bring us together and we are going to start by all putting America first. We have to fix it because together we can truly make America great again for all Americans.
