Republican candidate Donald Trump declared victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election early yesterday, as Fox News projected he held 277 Electoral College votes. At least 270 Electoral College votes are needed to clinch the presidency. As Trump spoke, no other major U.S. media outlets called the election for him. Speaking at his election headquarters in West Palm Beach, Florida, Trump promised “to help our country heal,” adding that the U.S.-Mexico borders will be fixed. Trump was the president preceding the incumbent 46th U.S. president, Democrat Joe Biden. Kamala Harris, whose election night headquarters is in Washington, D.C., did not address her supporters during the night
