Donald Trump secured a second term as President of the United States after winning key battleground states, as projected by NBC News.

This victory marks a significant political comeback for Trump, who had lost the 2020 election amid unproven claims of fraud that he and his supporters have continued to assert.

Senator JD Vance, R-Ohio, Trump's running mate, celebrated the victory at the campaign's victory party in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Vance declared, "I think we just witnessed the greatest political comeback in the history of the United States of America."

Trump and Vance addressed their supporters before most news outlets had officially declared the win, with Trump expressing his gratitude for the "extraordinary honor of being elected your 47th president and your 45th president."
