00:58Mandatory credit: Donald J. Trump for President
Former US President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump promised that he 'is not going to start a war' but will instead 'stop the wars' while speaking at a victory rally in Florida's West Palm Beach on Wednesday morning.
He remarked that his policies during his second term will also be "a massive victory for democracy and for freedom."
"We want to have borders; we want to have security; we want to have things be good, safe. We want a great education; we want a strong and powerful military, and ideally, we don't have to use it," he stated, calling Republicans 'the party of common sense'.
Trump also commented on the election and the voters: "They came from all corners <...> We had everybody, and it was beautiful. It was a historic realignment—uniting citizens of all backgrounds around," underlining that this is also a 'common core of common sense'.
The former and now next president has previously pledged to end the Ukrainian crisis and the Gaza war early on in his term, even before his January inauguration.
At the time of publication, US media reported that Trump is projected to win the election with at least 277 electoral college votes - with Kamala Harris trailing on 224. The margin of victory could be much higher, with Trump leading in many of the states still to declare.
Harris is yet to comment, while on Tuesday night her campaign co-chair Cedric Richmond announced she would speak on Wednesday as the vote count continues.
The election, held under the electoral college system, requires candidates to pick up electoral votes, with the number assigned to each state equal to the number of senators (2) and house representatives - which are based on population. All except Maine and Nebraska operate a 'winner takes all' system based on the state's popular vote, while 270 of the 538 total are needed to win.
All 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 34 of 100 Senate seats are also up for election, with the GOP projected to win a majority in both at the time of publication.
