SUMMARY: Donald Trump has secured 267 Electoral College votes, while Kamala Harris has 224. He has won crucial swing states Georgia and Pennsylvania, prompting him to declare victory at a rally in Palm Beach. During his speech, Trump described his win as a significant victory for democracy and touted it as the greatest political movement of all time. Although NBC News has not officially called the race, it seems likely that Trump will return to the White House as the 47th president. Kamala Harris’s campaign has indicated she will address her supporters later today.

Several battleground states have not yet been called by AP. Trump’s win in Pennsylvania has effectively blocked any of Kamala Harris’ paths to victory.
