We’re Going to Pay You Back: Trump Tells Supporters

"I want to thank the millions of hard-working Americans across the nation who have always been the heart and soul of this really great movement. We’ve been through so much together, and today you showed up in record numbers to deliver a victory. … this was something special. And we’re going to, we’re going to pay you back. We’re going to do the best job … we’re going to turn it around. It’s got to be turned around. It’s got to be turned around fast. And we’re going to turn it around. We’re going to do it in every way, with so many ways, but we’re going to do it in every way. This will forever be remembered as the day the American people regained control of their country," the Republican added.

Greatest Political Comeback Ever: Vance

Trump also invites his VP pick JD Vance to address the massive crowd. After taking to the mic, Vance described Trump's campaign as the "greatest political comeback ever".

A Star is Born: Trump's Shoutout to Musk

Trump also gave a shoutout to billionaire businessman Elon Musk, who he said has become a major part of his campaign. Describing the world's richest person Elon Musk as a "new star" of the Republican Party, Trump said "He is an amazing guy... We spent two weeks in Philadelphia and different parts of Pennsylvania campaigning," he said. Trump describes the Tesla CEO as a "wonderful" guy.

"This is a magnificent victory for the American people. 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 never been anything like this in this country, and maybe beyond," Trump said.

"And now it's going to reach a new level of importance because we're going to help our country heal. We'll help our country...we have a country that needs help, and it needs help very badly," he said.

"We are going to fix our borders. We are 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." Trump also promised to usher in a "golden" period in the US.

"I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honour of being elected your 47th president and your 45th president," he said. "I will fight for you, for your family and your future." "Every single day, I will be fighting for you and 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. This will truly be the golden age of America," he added.

According to projections, Trump is all set to get 270 electoral college votes or more blocking Harris' chance to become the first woman president of the US.
