President-elect Donald Trump addressed his supporters in the nation early Wednesday morning after earning more than 270 electoral votes, vowing he will lead the “golden age of America” after launching the “greatest political movement of all time.”
“This was, I believe, the greatest political movement of all time.
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,” Trump said just before 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday.
“We’re going to help our country here. We have a country that needs help, and it needs help very badly. We’re going to fix our borders.
We’re going to fix everything about our country and we’ve made history for a reason tonight. And the reason is going to be just that. We overcame obstacles that nobody thought possible,” he added to cheers from the crowd.
He notched more than 270 electoral votes around 1:45 a.m., officially defeating Harris.
Trump said that he would lead the “golden age of America” upon his inauguration.
“Every citizen, I will fight for you, for your family, and your future. Every single day, I will be fighting for you. And 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. That’s what we have to have. This is a magnificent victory for the American people that will allow us to make America great again,” he said.
The Keystone State throughout the election cycle was seen as the state that would likely determine the overall outcome of the election, as both campaigns repeatedly traveled throughout the state to build support.
Georgia was another hard-fought state for both campaigns and where Trump was ultimately projected victorious on Tuesday evening.
Vice President-elect JD Vance also addressed the crowds on Wednesday morning, thanking Trump for an “incredible journey.”
I appreciate you allowing me to join you on this incredible journey.
I thank you for the trust, the place to me. And I think that we just witnessed the greatest political comeback in the history of the United States of America. Okay. And under President Trump’s leadership, we’re never going to stop fighting for you, for your dreams, for the future of your children. And after the greatest political comeback in American history, we’re going to lead the greatest economic comeback in American history. Under Donald Trump’s leadership,” he said.
