Donald Trump Declares Victory: ‘God Spared My Life For A Reason’
SUMMARY
Donald Trump declared victory early Wednesday after securing key swing states Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and North Carolina, surpassing the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency. Flanked by family and supporters in West Palm Beach, Trump reflected on the challenges he overcame, attributing his resilience to a higher purpose. "Many people have told me that God spared my life for a reason," he said, referencing an assassination attempt earlier this year. This victory makes Trump the first president since Grover Cleveland to serve two non-consecutive terms, positioning him as the 45th and 47th president. In his speech, Trump called this outcome "a magnificent victory for the American people," pledging to usher in "the golden age of America." Joined by Vice President-elect JD Vance, who called the win the "greatest political comeback in U.S. history," Trump also celebrated significant Republican victories in the Senate and House.
