Donald Trump wins reelection, vowing ‘strong, safe, and prosperous America’
Caroline MolloyDonald Trump on Wednesday won his reelection bid for president, defeating Democratic opponent Vice President Kamala Harris and becoming the first president in nearly 130 years to secure a nonconsecutive White House victory.
Multiple news networks called the race for the Republican president-elect on Wednesday morning. Fox News had called the race for Trump hours earlier.
Early Wednesday morning Trump had posted a 276-219 lead in the Electoral College over Harris as well as a 5 million lead in the popular vote.
“This was, I believe, the greatest political movement of all time,” Trump said in Florida in the early hours of Wednesday morning. “There’s never been anything like this in this country, and maybe beyond.”
“And now it’s going to reach a new level of importance because we’re going to help our country heal,” he said.
