Donald Trump has won the U.S. presidential election, becoming only the second U.S. president to be elected to two non-consecutive terms in office and the first convicted felon to win the White House.
The Associated Press called the race for Trump around 5:30 a.m. ET after he won the key swing states of Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, securing 277 electoral college votes and thus clinching his victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. The AP call followed those by Fox News and Decision Desk HQ . Trump also triumphed in other key swing states, winning North Carolina earlier in the night and flipping Georgia, which President Joe Biden won in 2020.
Trump hailed his victory in a speech to supporters at Mar-a-Lago, his country club in Florida’s West Palm Beach, taking the stage just before 2:30 a.m. ET and declaring that he was at the helm of a “movement like nobody’s ever seen before.” “Now it’s going to reach a new level of importance because we’re going to help our country heal,” he said.
