The 2024 U.S. election has come to a close, and Donald Trump has emerged as the 47th President of the United States. In a series of statements, Trump expressed his gratitude to the American people, describing his victory as part of the "greatest political movement of all time." Addressing his supporters, he declared, “This was a movement like nobody has seen before,” underscoring his belief in the campaign’s unique and historic nature.

Reflecting on the implications of his win, Trump announced that a “golden age of America is here.” He promised to “fight for you and your family with every breath I take,” committing himself to a renewed vision of prosperity for the nation. He thanked voters for their trust, saying, “America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate. We have taken back control of the Senate and look to retain the House of Representatives.”

Trump highlighted the unexpected success his party achieved in the Senate races, which he called "absolutely incredible." The former President noted that these victories would enable him to drive forward his policy agenda more decisively. J.D. Vance, a prominent ally and supporter, echoed Trump’s sentiment, declaring that the nation is poised to make “the greatest economic comeback in America's history” under Trump's leadership.

Trump also took a moment to praise Elon Musk’s recent achievements, referring to him as “a new star.” Admiring Musk's technical feats, Trump said, “I saw it (the rocket) coming down, down, and down, and I thought, only Elon can pull it off.”
