Donald Trump declared victory over Kamala Harris early Wednesday in the US presidential election as he stands on the cusp of a historic political comeback.
The Republican told his ecstatic supporters at a campaign party in Florida that they would usher in “a new golden age for America”.
He needs just one more state to officially take him over the winning threshold of 270 electoral college votes, according to projections by the BBC’s US partner CBS. He would be the first former president to return to the White House in more than 130 years.
In more good news for Trump, his party is projected to win majority control of the Senate.
