As Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump continues to inch closer to the 270-mark and secures victory in three of the seven battleground states, he is currently addressing a large gathering at West Palm Beach in Florida. In his speech, he said:
“I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected your 47th president, and your 45th president… I will be fighting for you with every breath in my body. I will not rest until we have delivered the strong, safe and prosperous America that our children deserve and that you deserve.”
Donald Trump, who almost won all the swing states, is set to become the President of the United States for the second time after defeating Kamala Harris. Trump, 78, would be the oldest president ever elected. He would also be the first defeated president in 132 years to win another term in the White House, and the first person convicted of a felony to take over the Oval Office.
Trump during his victory speech promised that he would ‘not rest until we have delivered a strong, safe and prosperous America.’ “Every single day,” Trump said, “I will be fighting for you with every breath in my body.”
“This is a political victory that our country has never seen before, nothing like this. I want to thank American people for the extraordinary honour of being elected your 47th President and your 45th President. Every citizen, I will fight for you, for your family and for your future. Every single day, I will be fighting for you with every breath in my body. I will not rest until we have delivered the strong, safe and prosperous America that our children deserve and that you deserve. This will truly be the golden age of America…”
Meanwhile, Harris will not address the supporters tonight in the US, but is expected to speak tomorrow, the co-chair Cedric Richmond said. This came after Trump was projected as a winner in two of the seven battleground states early today. While addressing a gathering, Richmond said that the votes are yet to be counted and some states have not been called.
“We still have votes to count. We still have states that have not been called yet. We will continue overnight, to fight to make sure that every vote is counted, that every voice has spoken,” he said.
