'A star is born': Trump lauds Elon Musk, says 'God spared my life for a reason'

With Pennsylvania among Trump’s new wins, history may favour his path to the White House; no Democrat has reached the White House without the Keystone State since 1948. A win in Alaska or any remaining swing state would seal Trump’s return.

At a watch party in West Palm Beach, a jubilant crowd erupted as the victories were announced, cheering, tossing red MAGA hats, and embracing as Trump celebrated on stage with close family and allies. Among those present were former First Lady Melania Trump, his children Don Jr., Eric, Ivanka, Tiffany, and Barron, along with top advisers and political allies, including House Speaker Mike Johnson.

“I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected your 47th president, and your 45th president,” Trump told his supporters. “I will fight for you, for your family, and your future every single day.”

Here are the top quotes from Donald Trump:

"I will be fighting for you 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.”

Trump also gave a shot out to Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of X and one of his most high-profile supporters. “We have a new star. A star is born: Elon,” Trump said.

“It’s time to put the divisions of the past four years behind us. It’s time to unite.”

“We have to put our country first for at least a period of time. We have to fix it.”

Referring to his assassination attempt, Trump said, "God spared my life for a reason. And that reason was to save our country and restore America to greatness. And now we’re going to fulfill that mission together."

"The task before us will not be easy, but I will bring every ounce of energy, spirit, and fight that I have in my soul to the job that you’ve entrusted to me."
