Donald Trump has claimed victory in the US presidential election. The Republican candidate is given well ahead but the final figures are not yet known.
“I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected the 47th president.” And so, on Wednesday, November 6, at 8:30 a.m. French time, Donald Trump claimed victory in the November 5 U.S. presidential election. While the final results are not yet known, the Republican candidate is on track to sweep the board. his Democratic competitor Kamala Harris.
In West Palm Beach, Florida, the man who seems very close to settling back into the White House congratulated himself on having led “the greatest political movement ever seen in our country,” a movement like “no one has ever seen before,” dismissing the predictions: “Many thought it was unthinkable. Now it's clear, look at what's happening today."
The former president (2016-2020) boasted of a “political victory” and also rejoiced in having “won the popular vote”. A snub from fate, since in 2016 he had been criticized for winning with fewer votes than his rival Hillary Clinton. It must be said that according to forecasts, Donald Trump could collect 5 million more votes than his Democratic opponent this time. Far from the “closest election in history” as many observers predicted. For the 78-year-old candidate, victory seems total since the American Senate has also swung to the Republican camp. As for the House of Representatives, the counting is still underway and the outcome looks uncertain.
To once again climb into the Oval Office in Washington, Donald Trump notably won the American election in the key states of Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia. He also arrived leading in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, West Virginia, the two Dakotas, Wyoming, Ohio, Utah, Montana and Idaho.
In total, Trump had 267 electors on Wednesday morning thanks to these victories, out of the 270 needed to reach the White House. He still had to win several swing states (if not all) as well as the votes in traditionally Republican states. All the barometers and the media, including the very democratic New York Times, assured from 7 am and at more than 90%, the victory of the Republican candidate.
