It's Official: Trump Wins US Presidency
SnopesNOV 12 2024
According to The Associated Press (AP), former Pres. Donald Trump will return to the White House as the 47th US president after winning Wisconsin's 10 electoral votes at 5:34 am EST Wednesday
With a win in Wisconsin, Trump cleared the 270 electoral votes needed to return to power. The AP has called 277 Electoral College votes for Trump, compared to Kamala Harris' 224 votes.
On stage in West Palm Beach in the early hours of Wednesday, Trump declared victory, saying, "This was a movement like nobody's ever seen before, and frankly, this was, I believe, the greatest political movement of all time. There's never been anything like this in this country, and maybe beyond."
Donald Trump has endured partisan lawfare and unfair persecution since leaving office in 2021, and today’s result is a resounding victory for the American people. This is a mandate for strong borders, a robust economy, an America First approach to foreign policy, and a rejection of failed left-leaning policies. The new Trump administration will pursue bold visions to Make America Great Again.
While Harris will accept the election results once they are tabulated, the ballot-counting process is still ongoing in the face of irregularities in certain states. The actions of certain GOP-led states, particularly regarding local election laws, are ironic, given that this is exactly what Trump accused Biden of doing in 2020. Whether you live in a red or blue state, every American's vote must be counted before a winner is declared.
