In a statement, Trump thanked the American people for the "honour of being elected" to the nation’s highest office.
Thank You Address
In a thank you address to his supporters in Palm Beach, Florida, Trump said, "I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honour of being elected your 47th president and your 45th president." He referred to his earlier term in office, in 2017-2021, before Joe Biden won four years as the 46th US president.
Magnificent Victory
Trump hailed the election result as a "magnificent victory for the American people that will allow us to make America great again." He pledged to fight for every citizen, stating, "We’re going to help our country heal."
Historic Win
With this win, Trump will become the only US president to serve non-consecutive terms, following Grover Cleveland, who served two terms in the late 1800s.
