The Republican candidate for U.S. presidency, Donald Trump, announced early Wednesday that he had won the presidential election against his Democratic rival, Kamala Harris.

In a speech delivered to his supporters in Florida, Trump stated, "We made history tonight. Look at what happened; isn't this insane?"

During his address, Trump thanked those present and the American people for electing him as the "47th president of the United States," as he put it.

He confirmed his victory in key states including Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Alaska. He said, "This will lead us to a victory of about 350 electoral votes," noting that he also won the popular vote.

Trump also announced that his Republican Party had regained control of the Senate, expressing his joy at the victory amid cheers from his supporters who had waited for his speech for hours.

He said, "The victories are amazing... No one expected this... I would like to thank you for that, and it seems we will also maintain control of the House of Representatives."

Republicans successfully regained control of the U.S. Senate after capturing two seats previously held by Democrats in West Virginia and Ohio, according to the Associated Press.

Additionally, Trump thanked his wife Melania for her support during his campaign, saying, "I also thank my entire family and my wonderful children."

He also expressed gratitude to the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, who was among the first to announce his victory.

On this occasion, Trump congratulated the vice presidential candidate, J.D. Vance, saying, "I want to be the first to congratulate him," before Vance took the microphone to thank Republican voters.

Upon regaining the floor, Trump emphasized that the United States "is one of the greatest countries and can be the greatest of all time," noting that "the country was on a bad path."

Regarding immigration, Trump stated, "We need to fix the borders quickly. We want people to come to us legally," adding, "We will help the country heal."

In closing his speech, Trump thanked millions of Americans "who have been the heart and soul of this great movement," as he put it.

Trump promised to lower taxes, saying, "We can do things that no one else can do... China doesn't have what we have; no one has what we have."

He remarked, "We will change the course of the country in many ways, and this will be remembered as the day the American people took control of their country."

Trump pointed out the dynamics created by his campaign, stating that it managed to attract diverse Americans: "These people came from all places... from unions, Black Americans, Latinos, Arab Americans, Muslim Americans... we have everyone; this is beautiful, this is a historic coalition uniting people from different backgrounds."

He continued, speaking about the two assassination attempts he faced during the campaign, saying, "God spared me for a reason, and that reason is to save the country and restore America's greatness, and now we will accomplish this mission together."

He concluded by saying, "I will govern with a simple motto... the promises that are made are promises we keep and fulfill; nothing will stop me from fulfilling the promises I made to you."

He added, "It's time to put aside the divisions of the past four years; it’s time for unity. Success brings us together, and we will start by putting America first," then he added, "Together, we can make America great again for all Americans."

He finished by stating, "I will not let you down; America's future will be brighter."

By the time Trump took the stage in front of his audience, he had secured 267 electoral votes, compared to 214 for competitor Kamala Harris, putting him just three votes away from the 270 needed to guarantee victory in the White House.
