Donald Trump accepted victory in the 2024 Presidential Election with a speech in front of his supporters at his Mar-a-Lago election watch party in Florida just before 2:30 AM, EST on Wednesday. Based on calls by the Associated Press, the former President has clinched at least 277 electoral college votes, passing the threshold for victory. He began his speech by promising to fight for his supporters every day in the White House and predicted a "golden age of America."
"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, as noted by Fox News. "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."
