Donald Trump will claim the presidency after winning both the electoral college vote and the popular vote after Election Day.
The Associated Press officially called the race in Trump’s favor at 5:34 a.m. on Nov. 6 after he won Wisconsin, one of the essential battleground states in the election.
During his victory speech, Trump called this “the greatest political movement of all time” and said he would “help our country heal.”
“I will not rest until we have delivered the strong, safe and prosperous America that our children deserve and that you deserve,” said Trump. “This will truly be the golden age of America.”
At 1:41 p.m. on Nov. 6, the AP reported Harris called Trump to congratulate him and discuss a peaceful transfer of power. In a concession speech beginning at 4:25 p.m. on Nov. 6, Harris told a crowd at Howard University that it was important to accept the results of the election and engage in a peaceful transfer of power. She said that although she conceded the election, she would continue to fight for the values she emphasized on her campaign.
“The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for,” said Harris. “But hear me when I say, the light of America’s promise will always burn bright as long as we never give up and as long as we keep fighting.”
Republicans also took the majority of the U.S. Senate in this election, allowing Trump an easier path to forward his policies. As of 5 p.m. on Nov. 6, the election has yet to decide control over the House of Representatives, as Republicans need 16 more seats to win control and Democrats need 29.
