What Trump's running mate said after winning
Trump's running mate, JD Vance, described the win as the biggest political comeback in the country's history.
Their speech followed Trump’s wins in North Carolina and Georgia—two of the most hotly contested states in this election—and boosted his momentum, bringing him closer to the 270 electoral votes needed for the presidency.
He also maintained their administration would lead the greatest economic comeback in the history of the United States of America.
Major boost as Trump controls senate
Trump, through the Republican Party, has regained control of the US Senate for the first time since 2021, making this a defining moment.
Key races in Ohio and Nebraska were crucial in shifting control of the Senate from the Democrats to the Republicans.
The victory gives Republicans substantial power in confirming presidential appointments, including potential Supreme Court justices and advancing their legislative priorities, particularly tax cuts and border security.
