Former US president and current president-elect Donald Trump’s address to the nation after being elected 47th president of the United States, on Tuesday night, November 5, 2024.
Thank you very much. Wow. Well I want to thank you all very much. This is great. These are our friends. We have thousands of friends on this incredible movement.
This was a movement like nobody’s ever seen before. And frankly this was, I believe, the greatest political movement of all time. There’s ever been anything like this in this country and maybe beyond.
And now it’s going to reach a new level of importance because we’re going to help our country heal, we’re going to help our country heal. We have a country that needs help and it needs help very badly. We’re going to fix our borders, we’re going to fix everything about our country and we made history for a reason tonight.
And the reason is going to be just that. We overcame obstacles that nobody thought possible and it is now clear that we’ve achieved the most incredible political thing. Look what happened – is this crazy? – but it’s a political victory that our country has never seen before. Nothing like this.
I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected your 47th president and your 45th president. And every citizen: I will fight for you, for your family and your future
deserve and that you deserve. This will truly be the golden age of America – that’s what we have to know.
This is a magnificent victory for the American people that will allow us to make America great again – oh we’re gonna do it. And in addition to having won the battleground states of North Carolina – I love these places – Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. We are now winning in Michigan, Arizona, Nevada and Alaska, which would result in us carrying at least 315 electoral votes.
