The Fox News Decision Desk projects former President Trump has defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in a stunning victory, delivering him a second term in the White House after a historic election cycle filled with unprecedented twists and turns and two attempts on his life. 

Trump defeated Vice President Harris, who entered this race just over 100 days ago after President Biden, who won the Democratic primaries, was convinced to stand down.

Trump was projected to have breached the 270 electoral vote threshold after stunning wins in the battleground states of North Carolina, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Georgia.

Trump’s comeback win was called by Fox News after it projected that he had won Wisconsin, a state he narrowly lost in 2020.  

“I want to thank you all very much. This is great. These are our friends. We have thousands of friends in this incredible movement. This is a movement like nobody’s ever seen before,” Trump said during early morning remarks at a victory celebration in West Palm Beach, Florida. “I believe, the greatest political movement of all time.”

Trump said that this was going to be the “golden age of America,” thanking supporters for reelecting him.

“I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected the 47th president,” he said. “And every citizen, 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.

— Donald Trump
