Republican candidate Donald Trump has been officially declared the winner of the United States presidential election, with CNN and the Associated Press confirming the victory first announced by Fox News.
Projections shared by CNN and the Associated Press confirm that Trump is poised to win the key battleground state of Wisconsin, securing enough electoral votes for a second term as the president of the United States. This would make him the second president in the country's history to return to the White House after losing the reelection in 2020. The upcoming 47th president of the United States already declared early victory in the election last night, while Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris declined to make an address before Wednesday.
The electoral votes from Michigan, Nevada, Alaska, and Arizona are still pending, but current results show that Trump has secured 277 electoral votes, surpassing the 270 needed to win the presidency. Democratic presidential candidate has 226 electoral votes, according to the Associated Press.
