Punjab Newsline, World News, November 6-
Republican nominee Donald Trump claimed victory in the United States presidential elections after securing victory in three of the seven battleground states.

Addressing a large gathering at West Palm Beach in Florida, he said: “I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected your 47th president, and your 45th president. I will be fighting for you with every breath in my body. I will not rest until we have delivered the strong, safe and prosperous America that our children deserve and that you deserve.”

United States House Speaker Johnson also announced Trump to be the new president-elect after the Republican continued to inch closer to the 270-mark, news agency Reuters reported.
Harris, who has so far secured 205 electoral votes, will not address the supporters tonight in the US, but is expected to speak tomorrow, the co-chair Cedric Richmond said, CNN reported. This came after Trump was projected as a winner in two of the seven battleground states early today. While addressing a gathering, Richmond said that the votes are yet to be counted and some states have not been called.
