After a turbulent and defiant campaign against Kamala Harris, Trump will become the country’s 47th president.
Republican Donald Trump has won the US presidential election in a stunning comeback, The Associated Press news agency reports, with his projected victory in Wisconsin clearing the 270 Electoral votes needed to secure a return to the White House.
Speaking in West Palm Beach, Florida, before the latest results came in, Trump pledged to bring a “golden age” to the United States, praising what he called “the greatest political movement of all time”.
His Democratic rival Kamala Harris has not conceded and is expected to speak on Thursday.
World leaders rushed to congratulate Trump on Wednesday as votes were still being counted after early projected wins in key battleground states. Here are some reactions:
“Congratulations on history’s greatest comeback! Your historic return to the White House offers a new beginning for America and a powerful recommitment to the great alliance between Israel and America. This is a huge victory! In true friendship,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted on social media platform X.
