Trump declares victory in White House race, ahead of AP call
Briefly

Former President Donald Trump addressed supporters at his Florida watch party, claiming victory in the competitive race against Vice President Harris, stating, 'America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate.' This assertion followed Fox News projecting his win, although the Associated Press had yet to declare him the victor. Trump's remarks hinted at a strong confidence in both his electoral success and potential popular vote advantage, a contrast to his previous campaign.
Flanked by family and staff, Trump expressed his belief that he should have won the popular vote during his initial presidential campaign, stating, 'I thought I had won the popular vote as well.' This sentiment reflects his continued focus on asserting a broader mandate from the American populace, emphasizing both victory in critical swing states and a commanding lead in the electoral race overall.
