Former President Donald Trump took the stage and declared victory in the early hours of Wednesday morning, cementing an extraordinary political comeback.
Minutes earlier news organizations called the 2024 presidential race for him.
'We made history for a reason tonight, and the reason is that we overcame obstacles that nobody thought possible,' he said.
'And it is now clear that we've achieved the most incredible political thing.'
The moment of truth came earlier when Fox News called Pennsylvania, the biggest of the battleground prizes, followed by Wisconsin and then the entire race in his favor.
The Associated Press had still not called the election for Trump, but he claimed victory onstage nonetheless.
It meant Trump had won three of the key states, making victory inevitable.
'It's real,' screamed one young supporter who raced to the front of the crowd as if it were a mosh pit, high fiving friends and strangers.
Trump was joined on stage by family - including daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner who had been absent from the campaign - aides and political supporters.
He thanked his supporters and promised a golden age for the nation.
His runningmate J.D. Vance spoke for many when he said the result marked a remarkable turnaround in political fortunes.
'I thank you for the trust that you placed in me,' he said, 'and I think that we just witnessed the greatest political comeback in the history of the United States of America.'

>> Trump did a nice speech. At 3 in the morning no less.
Although not a politician, President Trump (how I love to say that!) has learned enough in eight years of politics to present himself credibly. Reminding me that he is a bright guy and a quick learner. We are blessed to have him (again) as our President!
>> Yeah. He needs 3 more Electoral College votes to win.
Where do you get that bullshit?
It’s nothing short of a resurrection - he was literally crucified... and then rose up.
Hey Larry Hogan, how did you make out?
Bwahahahahahaha!
Thank God I was wrong about how this was going to turn out.
Payback time.
Nixon is wasn’t indicted four or five times during his campaign, nor was he saddled with a felony.
ABC already called the race for DJT
Better than Reagan kicking Mondale’s donkey.
Donald John Trump. The first and hopefully last President since Roosevelt that has been legitimately elected to the office THREE times.
By fraud the progress of the best four years of my life in America were destroyed and the nation subjected to the destructive crusade of communists. For this, the democrat party deserves to be destroyed. Though it is wrong I would enjoy revenge and would not be unrepentant.
