In the early morning of 6 November 2024, local time, the Republican candidate and former President Trump (Donald Trump) finally broke through the threshold of 270 electoral votes and won over his opponent, Democratic candidate Kamala Harris. Afterwards, Trump gave a speech to supporters and declared himself elected.

According to Fox News, Trump won 277 electoral votes on 5 November with 10 votes from Wisconsin, defeating Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in advance, confirming his election as the US president, returning to the White House, and becoming the oldest president in U.S. history to take office.

The US Capitol Hill reported that Trump won his second term. Previously, statistics from the US media showed that Trump was ahead of his opponent Kamala Harris and had won several key swing states.

Fox also announced that Trump won Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania has 19 electoral votes and is a must-fight place for the Republican and Democratic parties in the U.S. election.

On the 6th, Trump appeared at Mar-a-Lago in Florida. He expressed his gratitude to his supporters, saying: "I want to thank the American people for giving me the extraordinary honor of being elected as your 47th and 45th president."

In the early morning of Wednesday (6 November 2024), Cedric Richmond, co-chairman of Harris' campaign team, announced that Kamala would not speak to supporters at Howard University tonight, but he emphasized that the campaign team has not given up the election with Trump.

Richmond said: "There are still votes to be counted. We still have some states where the votes have not been counted. We will continue to fight all night to ensure that every vote is counted."

"So, you won't hear from the vice president tonight but you will hear from her tomorrow."

The vice president's office confirmed shortly afterwards that Kamala would not make another public appearance tonight.

Richmond said that Kamala would return to Howard University tomorrow, "not only to speak to her supporters, but also to the nation."
