Former President Donald Trump has won the 2024 presidential election and will become the 47th President of the United States. Trump is only the second president in United States history to be elected to office in non-consecutive terms. The first to do so was Grover Cleveland in 1884 and 1892.
“We’re going to help our country heal,” Trump said during his victory speech at his election headquarters in West Palm Beach, Florida.
After thanking his wife, Melania, his family, those that ran his campaign, and his supporters in the room, Trump expressed his belief that God is the reason he is alive and was able to secure the election victory.
“We’re going to make our country better than it ever has been,” Trump said. “Many people have told me that God spared my life for a reason, and that reason was to save our country and to restore America to greatness. And now we are going to fulfill that mission together.”
“Just as I did in my first term, I will govern by a simple model: promises made, promises kept. We’re going to keep our promises,” Trump added. “Nothing will stop me from keeping my word to you, the people.”
“It’s time to put the divisions of the past four years behind us. It’s time to unite,” Trump said. “Success is going to bring us together, and we are going to start by all putting America first.”
Vice President-Elect J.D. Vance thanked Trump for allowing him to be a part of such an “incredible journey.” Vance said, “I thank you for the trust that you placed in me, and I think that we just witnessed the greatest political comeback in the history of the United States of America.”
“Under President Trump’s leadership, we’re never going to stop fighting for you, for your dreams, for the future of your children,” Vance continued. “And after the greatest political comeback in American history, we’re going to lead the greatest economic comeback in American history under Donald Trump’s leadership.”
Following Trump’s speech, at around 3 a.m. Wednesday (Nov. 6), a group of supporters worshiped God by singing “How Great Thou Art.”
