Trump declares himself winner in US Presidential election

Donald Trump has declared victory in the US Presidential election as he addressed jubilant supporters in Florida.

“America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate,” he said to cheering crowds.

The Republican has picked up the battleground states of Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia, leaving Kamala Harris with only a narrow path to victory.

Just before Trump began speaking, Fox News projected that he had won the election; other US TV networks are yet to do so.

A return to the White House would be an extraordinary comeback for Trump after he lost to Joe Biden in 2020.

The Campaign Council of Kamala Harris says she won’t speak today, as dejected supporters left her watch party earlier.

In continuous state of winning streak, the Republicans have taken back the Senate in this election.
