Donald Trump appeared at his campaign headquarters in Palm Beach, Florida, just before 2 a.m. local time Wednesday to address his supporters.
Surrounded by his family, his running mate JD Vance and the Vance family, and other vital members of his campaign, Trump spoke to the celebrating crowd, saying:
“This is a movement like nothing we’ve ever seen before. And this was, I believe, the greatest political movement of all time,” he said. “We made history for a reason tonight and the reason is going to be that we overcame obstacles that nobody thought possible. It’s now clear that we’ve achieved the most incredible political victory that our country has ever seen.”
He then made a promise to every American citizen that “I will fight for you, for your family, and your future. 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, and you, deserve.”
Though she hasn’t officially conceded as of press time, democratic nominee Kamala Harris is expected to address her supporters Wednesday.
This is a developing story.
