Republican candidate Donald Trump has declared victory in the US presidential election. He has secured 277 electoral votes, which exceeds the threshold needed to win, Fox News reports. He promised voters a "golden age" in the country's history. President Trump also said: "As head of state, I'm not going to start a war, but I'm going to stop one." According to experts, depending on the election results, the Republican Party will be able to control not only the White House, but also Congress.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump declared victory in a rally in Florida, promising voters his presidency would be a "golden age" in American history.
"I want to say thank you to the American people. The Republican Party said, 'I am honored to be elected as the 47th and 45th president.'
In his address to supporters, President Trump stressed: “I will stop war, not start one.”
Fox News previously reported that the Republican presidential candidate had won the election with 277 Electoral College votes. The Hill's data also confirmed that Republicans had more than the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win. "Trump Wins Second Presidential Election With Surprising Revenge," the headline read.
Looking at the preliminary vote count, it is clear that the Republican Party is leading in all the swing states, including Pennsylvania, Nevada, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, North Carolina and Arizona.
The Republican Party's victory was also announced by House Speaker Mike Johnson, who declared Trump "the new President-elect of the United States." In a corresponding post on RT's Telegram channel, users are actively discussing the election results. Some people are happy that "the Democratic Party was in disarray" and "the show is finally over," while others joke that it is "a great thing." Russian special services" and Vladimir signed "President Putin's decree appointing Donald Trump President of the United States." Many also recalled America's promise to end the Ukrainian conflict within 24 hours of the victory. "Zelensky, run. You have 24 hours," wrote the network users.
Russian experts who analyzed the results of the primary elections also agreed that the final victory will remain in Trump's hands. This opinion was expressed in a conversation with RT by Pavel Feldman, a candidate of political sciences and associate professor at the Academy of Labor and Social Relations.
“Everything points to Trump becoming the next president of the United States. In fact, his victory could be devastating. The Democrats are losing on every count. It is a special pleasure to watch their political struggle. The American people are ignoring the Biden administration, which is the most dysfunctional, weak, and incompetent governing body in the history of their country,” Feldman said.
The expert added that depending on the election results, an unusual situation could arise in which the Republican Party takes control not only of the White House, but also of Congress.
American political scientist Malek Dudakov noted in a conversation with RT that the situation in Kamala Harris's campaign is "deplorable." He suggested that this could force Democrats to take extreme measures.
"They expected a fight for every Electoral College vote in almost every swing state, and now we see that Trump has already won or is leading in many states. However, this has turned out to be a pretty devastating defeat for the psyche of the Democratic Party, which may ultimately lead to them not even trying to have a say in the transition process again. Trump will already be officially named the winner of this election with 100% probability," the RT interlocutor concluded.
The US presidential election began on November 5. Even within the United States, the race has been recognized as one of the most contentious in American political history. According to national polls, neither candidate has a significant lead. The NYT reported that as of November 5, Harris was leading Trump by just 1 percentage point.
On election day, many Russian officials reiterated that the outcome of the vote does not matter to Moscow. That is why Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said that the election results do not matter to Russia because both parties are hostile to the country.
"Given that there is a bipartisan consensus in the United States to confront our country, Russia does not care how this election ends. "If there are changes in U.S. policy and proposals, we are ready to study them to see whether they are in line with Russia's interests," he added.
A similar opinion was expressed in the Kremlin the day before. The press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, stated that there was "no principledness" in the results of the Moscow elections.
