BREAKING: Donald Trump Has Won The 2024 Presidential Election And Will Become The 47th President of the United States

BREAKING: Donald Trump Has Won The 2024 Presidential Election And Will Become The 47th President of the United States—–Donald Trump has declared victory in the US election as he addressed jubilant supporters in Florida – but votes in key states are still being counted.

Speaking at West Palm Beach, he told crowds: “Look what happened – is this crazy?” – adding: “I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honour of being elected your 47th president.”

He told the crowd he had won a “magnificent victory for the American people”.

Trump has won in the key battleground states of Georgia, Pennsylvania and North Carolina – and is leading in several others – narrowing Kamala Harris’s path to victory significantly.

Harris will now not address her supporters until later on Wednesday, her campaign chair has said.

The vice president had been scheduled to make a speech at her alma mater, Howard University, after the polls closed, but the mood grew sombre as results began to trickle in.

Cedric Richmond, co-chair of the Harris campaign, told the crowds at the university: “We will continue overnight to fight to make sure, every vote is counted, that every voice has spoken.

“So you won’t hear from the vice president tonight but you will hear from her tomorrow. She will be back here tomorrow.”

The Howard community had been preparing for a historic night – Harris would become the first woman, black woman and South Asian American to assume the presidency, if elected.

But in the 21 remaining states where more than 80% of the vote has been counted, there has been a swing towards Donald Trump, NBC News reports.

In seven of them, the swing is less than one point.

The largest swings – of more than five points – are in New Jersey and Florida.

No other state has a swing higher than three points.

Kamala Harris

JUST IN: Kamala Harris Cancels Election Day Speech As Supporters Asked To Leave—-Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign co-chair, Cedric Richmond, announced early Wednesday that Harris would not address supporters at Howard University as her campaign awaited additional election results.

Thecloudngr reports that Richmond emphasized that the campaign was focused on ensuring every vote is counted, with key results still pending in several states.

“We still have votes to count. We still have states that have not been called yet,” Richmond stated. “We will continue overnight to fight to make sure that every vote is counted, that every voice is heard. So, you won’t hear from the vice president tonight, but you will hear from her tomorrow.”

Following Richmond’s remarks, Harris’s team signaled no further public appearances for the night, advising supporters at Howard University to disperse. Despite the delay, many attendees remained optimistic about her chances of victory.

Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump appeared to be gaining momentum. Projections from Decision Desk HQ showed Trump leading with 248 Electoral College votes, while Harris trailed at 213. Trump was projected to win Georgia and North Carolina and held narrow leads in critical battleground states, including Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Arizona—though all were still counting ballots, with results too close to declare.

With just one more win from the “blue wall” states—Wisconsin, Michigan, or Pennsylvania—alongside Arizona, Trump could surpass the 270 electoral votes needed to reclaim the presidency. The counting process in key states like Arizona, Nevada, and Pennsylvania is expected to take several days to complete.

US Election Kamala Speech

Harris’s campaign expressed continued optimism, pointing to potential paths to victory if she secures enough support from urban centers in Milwaukee, Detroit, and Philadelphia. These areas are anticipated to be pivotal in flipping the “blue wall” states needed to secure her a win.
