Trump declares victory
In the early hours of the local time, former President Trump, the Republican presidential candidate, delivered a speech at the Palm Beach Convention Center in Florida, announcing his victory in the presidential election.
According to the latest projections from multiple American media outlets, including The Hill and Fox News, Trump has secured more than half of the electoral votes and is expected to clinch the victory in the current US presidential election. However, other major American media outlets have not yet released similar reports. The counting of votes in the US presidential election is still ongoing.
According to the campaign team of Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential candidate and Vice President of the United States, Harris will not deliver a speech to her supporters for the time being, "and will speak tomorrow."
The United States presidential election operates under the Electoral College system, where each state allocates electoral votes based on its population. A candidate wins by securing at least 270 out of the total 538 electoral votes.
