Trump Claims Victory Amidst Unfinished Vote Count

Published: 2024-11-06

In a dramatic turn of events, Donald Trump has declared victory in the 2024 U.

S. presidential election, despite the vote count not being fully completed.

With Joe Biden stepping down, Kamala Harris was the Democratic candidate, but Trump, representing the Republicans, has taken the lead.

As of now, Trump has secured 267 of the 270 electoral votes needed, with several key states still counting.

World leaders, including Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and NATO's Secretary General Mark Rutte, have already extended their congratulations, emphasizing continued collaboration.

However, the final results remain pending as the nation awaits the completion of the vote tally.
