As vote counting continues in several key states, CNN projects that former President Donald Trump has won three critical battleground states—Pennsylvania, Georgia, and North Carolina—narrowing Vice President Kamala Harris’s chances of reaching the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency. With only four more electoral votes required, Trump has not yet been declared the winner, as votes are still being tallied in other swing states, including Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Nevada.
Meanwhile, the Republicans have gained control of the Senate, which could significantly shift Washington's power dynamics. Speaking to supporters at an election night event in West Palm Beach, Florida, Trump expressed optimism, claiming this moment would “help this country heal” and promising to fight for Americans “every single day.” His family, wife Melania, running mate JD Vance, and House Speaker Mike Johnson joined him on stage as he spoke of a "golden age of America."
