| | Donald Trump declares victory as he addresses jubilant supporters | |  | | Cheers from supporters as Trump declares victory in US election. Image: Reuters | | Trump has been projected to win Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia, the first three of the seven battleground states to be decided. A return to the White House would be an extraordinary comeback for Trump after he lost to Joe Biden in 2020. Addressing a raucous crowd at his campaign HQ in Florida, Trump said “this is a magnificent victory for the American people, that will allow us to make America great again." His VP pick JD Vance described Trump's campaign as the "greatest political comeback ever". Just before Trump began speaking, Fox News projected that he had won the election; as of 08:15 GMT most other US TV networks are yet to do so. Harris said she wouldn’t speak today, as dejected supporters left her watch party earlier. | | | | | | | | | | | | |
