Trump Claims Victory in US Presidential Race, Pledges to Heal Country
Republican candidate Donald Trump has claimed victory in the US Presidential race, surpassing the 270-mark to defeat Democratic opponent Kamal Harris. Trump’s triumph was met with jubilation at his campaign headquarters in Florida, where he addressed supporters alongside his wife Melania and children.
In his victory speech, Trump pledged to “heal” the country and hailed his victory as “a political victory that our country has never seen before.” Despite Fox News declaring him the winner, other US networks have yet to make the official call.
Trump’s victory was aided by the support of several prominent figures, including vice-president candidate JD Vance, tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) CEO Dana White. White, who was present on stage with Trump, praised the Republican candidate’s resilience and determination.
“This is karma, ladies and gentlemen,” White said. “Nobody deserves this more than his family does. This is what happens when the machine comes after you. Couldn’t stop him. He keeps going forward. He’s the most resilient man I’ve ever met in my life.”
Trump also thanked Joe Rogan, the popular podcast host who endorsed him during the campaign. “Last but not least, the mighty and powerful Joe Rogan. And thank you, America. Thank you,” White said.
Trump’s victory marks a significant moment in American politics, as he becomes the first president to win a second term after being impeached. His victory is likely to have a profound impact on the country’s political landscape and its relationship with the rest of the world.
