In a recent speech to his supporters in Florida, former President Donald Trump declared victory, with NBC News estimating that he has secured 266 of the 270 Electoral College votes needed for a win.
Trump praised his campaign’s coalition, describing it as a “historic realignment” that brought together Americans from diverse backgrounds around principles of “common sense.”
He called the election a “massive victory for democracy and freedom” and referenced past threats to his life, suggesting he was “spared” to help save the nation.
Trump promised to lead with the motto “Promises made, promises kept” and emphasized the need to move beyond the past four years’ divisions, urging unity among Americans.
