US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION: Donald Trump Continues To Lead, Declares Self Winner In Latest Address Of Supporters

Donald Trump has declared victory in the US election as he addressed jubilant supporters in Florida.

“America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate,” he said to cheering crowds.

The Republican has picked up the battleground states of Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia, leaving Kamala Harris with only a narrow path to victory

Just before Trump began speaking, Fox News projected that he had won the election; other US TV networks are yet to do so.

A return to the White House would be an extraordinary comeback for Trump after he lost to Joe Biden in 2020.

Harris says she won’t speak today, as dejected supporters left her watch party earlier.

Meanwhile, Republicans are projected to have taken back the Senate. (BBC)
