The Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump has declared victory in the US election.
Naija News reports that Trump made this declaration while addressing his jubilant supporters in Florida. However, votes in key states are still being counted.
At West Palm Beach, he told crowds, “Look what happened – is this crazy?”
He added, “I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honour of being elected your 47th president.
“I will fight for you and your family and your future, every single day I will be fighting for you with every breath in my body.”
He told the crowd he had won a “magnificent victory for the American people” while claiming he had also won the popular vote, something he failed to secure during his 2016 and 2020 presidential bids.
“This will truly be the golden age of America,” the 78-year-old said.
Trump has won in the key battleground states of Georgia, Pennsylvania and North Carolina – and is leading in several others – narrowing Kamala Harris’s path to victory significantly.
“We overcame obstacles that no one thought possible,” Trump said as family, including “my beautiful wife Melania” and his “amazing” children, stood next to him.
“We’re going to help our country heal, we have a country that needs help and it needs help very badly,” he said while doubling down on his promise to crack down on illegal immigration.
