Donald Trump’s victory speech in full

Donald Trump has won a belated second term in the White House after sweeping four of the key battleground states hours after the polls closed on Election Day and consigning Kamala Harris to defeat.

The Republican presidential nominee, who served as commander-in-chief from 2017 to 2021, has just passed the Electoral College magic number of 270 by winning Wisconsin, having already picked up wins in North Carolina, Georgia and, crucially, Pennsylvania.

Counting is still underway in Michigan, Arizona and Nevada but Trump has already delivered a victory speech to his supporters in Florida.

I thought I’d have to wait a few days. But this was instant 😂😂

The BBC is nearly in tears. I love that their one sided reporting came to nothing. Harris was a disaster in waiting.

Amen 🙏🏻 . Thank you Jesus for giving our Greatest President Donald J. Trump back to the American people. I’m praying now the horrible inflated prices on Everything will go down. The price of groceries anymore are pitiful. Everyone is struggling. I have faith our Greatest President will fix this finally. God Bless him, his family. Vice President, and his family. 🙏🏻❤️🤍💙🇺🇸😊
