Trump expressed his appreciation to the electorate for selecting him as the 47th president of the United States, pledging to advocate for every citizen “every single day… with every breath in my body.” He committed to guiding the nation toward a future characterized by prosperity and safety, predicting that he would secure 315 electoral votes, along with the popular vote, once all ballots are counted.
He acknowledged the senior members of his campaign who stood with him on stage, affirming that he had chosen the right individuals to achieve this victory.
The Republican Party is also poised to gain a majority in the Senate, a success Trump attributed to his ‘MAGA movement’. He further noted that the GOP is likely to maintain control of the House, expressing gratitude to Speaker Mike Johnson for his exemplary leadership.
Trump commended his running mate, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, for engaging with media outlets perceived as adversarial to Republicans, including CNN and MSNBC, by “going into the enemy camp.”
As of the time of this address, Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate, has not conceded defeat. Trump delivered his victory speech while still three electoral votes short of the 270 required to secure the presidency.
