Early on Wednesday morning, multiple news outlets declared former President Donald Trump the winner of the 2024 presidential election. The announcement came after Trump clinched victories in critical battleground states, setting him on a clear path to reclaim the White House.
Battleground Wins Secure Path to Victory
Supporters gathered at Mar-a-Lago in West Palm Beach, Florida, eagerly awaited Trump’s address, celebrating wins in key states like Georgia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. As the count in Michigan continued, Trump’s campaign exuded confidence in a decisive victory, with Trump already holding 247 electoral votes, according to CNN’s projection.
Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris departed an election night gathering at Howard University, leaving supporters waiting. In a prior announcement, it was made clear that President Joe Biden would not be attending the event, amplifying the somber mood among Harris’s supporters.

At around 1:50 a.m. ET, Fox News joined other outlets in calling the race for Trump. As results streamed in, Trump was spotted closely monitoring the numbers alongside notable allies, including Elon Musk and UFC president Dana White.

Prominent entrepreneur Mark Cuban, a known opponent of Trump, accepted the outcome with grace.
