Donald Trump has reportedly secured 270 electoral votes, according to a new projection by Decision Desk HQ, clinching a second term as President. Additionally, he is currently leading in the popular vote nationwide.
The pivotal moment came when Pennsylvania was called in his favor, sealing his projected victory. Fox News has also reported that Trump will carry Pennsylvania, a critical battleground state that both campaigns heavily contested in the race to the White House.
With Desk HQ’s call, The Associated Press has also declared an official winner Donald Trump, showing Trump with 277 electoral votes and Kamala Harris at 214.
As uncertainty continues, Harris campaign officials are advising patience. NBC reported that Harris’ campaign co-chair has confirmed she will not be making a statement until tomorrow.
Meanwhile, social media is abuzz with reactions. TikTok personality and left-wing commentator Harry Sisson expressed disappointment on X, writing, “America failed women tonight.
Trump bullied, assaulted, and stripped reproductive rights away from women all across the country and instead of standing against it, many voted for it. We have failed our daughters, mothers, and sisters.”
Elon Musk also took to X to comment on record-breaking activity on the platform during election night.
He shared, “The people of America gave @realDonaldTrump a crystal clear mandate for change tonight,” adding, “You are the media now,” highlighting the changing landscape of information dissemination.
Trump supporters have erupted in celebration across social media and in person, anticipating his victory speech, which is expected to take place soon.
The atmosphere at Trump’s campaign headquarters is reported to be electric, as his followers eagerly await his address.
