Donald Trump declared victory in the US election while addressing jubilant supporters in Florida on Wednesday.
“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 United States (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.
Democrat candidate Kamala Harris says she won’t speak, as dejected supporters left her watch party earlier.
Meanwhile, Republicans are projected to have taken back the Senate. – BBC
