Trump declares victory at US Presidential election
06 Nov, 2024
Donald Trump announced he has won the US Presidential election and will bring about the change that America voted for.
Speaking to his supporters, Trump thanked his team and family for the support they gave him.
Trump appears to have won two key battlegrounds in the contest to become the next US president, edging towards victory and narrowing Kamala Harris?s path to the White House.
Republican Mr Trump is predicted to win in North Carolina and Georgia, two of the seven crucial swing states where the race is likely to be close.
Democrat candidate Ms Harris?s hopes for the presidency now rely on winning in the five remaining battleground states ? Pennsylvania, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan and Wisconsin ? though the odds appear stacked against her in many of them.
The race initially appeared neck-and-neck as Americans went to the polls, but Mr Trump pulled ahead as result predictions came in from solidly red states including Florida, Texas and Alabama throughout the night.
Democrat candidate Ms Harris?s support came from her party?s strongholds on the east and west coast in states like New York, Delaware, and California. (Colombo Gazette / Agencies)
