Trump declared victory in a speech to supporters early Wednesday morning, alongside his family and running mate, Sen. JD Vance.
“I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected your 47th president and your 45th president,” Trump said at his election headquarters in Florida. “And every citizen, I will fight for you, for your family and for your future. Every single day, I will be fighting for you with every breath in my body.”
At 78, Trump will be the oldest president ever to assume office.
Harris didn’t speak at all on Election Night, forgoing her planned event at Howard University. She addressed not only supporters but also Howard University students on Wednesday afternoon, urging the emotional crowd “do not despair.”
“This is not a time to throw up our hands,” Harris said. “This is a time to roll up our sleeves. This is a time to organize, to mobilize and to stay engaged for the sake of freedom and justice and the future that we all know we can build together.”
Republicans also had success in some key Senate races and CBS News projects the GOP will gain control of the upper chamber. Control of the House remains undetermined, with votes still being counted in numerous races.
