Donald Trump has just delivered a speech to jubilant supporters in Florida, celebrating not only becoming the 47th president of the U.S., but also winning the popular vote, keeping control of the House of Representatives and securing a majority in the Senate.
Voting is still underway, so some results have yet to be properly confirmed. But Trump was under no illusion that this has, in his opinion, been “the greatest political movement of all time”—one which must now focus on putting the past four years of national division “behind” in order to bring about “the golden age of America.”
Flanked by family members and senior figures from his campaign team, Trump outlined the need to “unite” so as to “heal” the country.
Every citizen, I will fight for you—for your family and 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.
Trump was clearly in good spirits, inviting others on stage to say a few words, occasionally responding to members of the audience and even joking that he wanted his ally Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to keep away from national oil policy.
When asked to address the nation, running mate J.D. Vance hailed Trump’s as “the greatest political comeback in the history of the United States of America,” adding that this will now be followed by the “greatest economic comeback in American history.”
Trump then suggested that God may have protected him from the infamous assassination attempt “for a reason,” adding that this election “will forever be remembered as the day the American people regained control of their country.”
Concluding on the theme of unity, Trump stressed that “success is going to bring us together.”
