JD Vance Announces Remarkable Victory
The recent election win for former President Donald Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris has energized Vice President-elect J.D. Vance.
After a strong showing for Republicans on election night, Vance took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his gratitude to his family and supporters.
“THANK YOU! To my beautiful wife for making it possible to do this. To President Donald J. Trump, for giving me such an opportunity to serve our country at this level. And to the American people, for their trust. I will never stop fighting for ALL of you,” Vance shared.
In an early-morning victory speech from Trump Headquarters, President-elect Trump credited his second term to a higher purpose, saying “God spared [his] life for a reason.”
Speaking for 25 minutes from West Palm Beach, Florida, Trump—who has survived two assassination attempts since July—expressed appreciation for his renewed mandate.
“This is a magnificent victory for the American people that will allow us to make America great again,” he said. Celebrating wins in battleground states like North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, Trump noted additional leads in Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, and Alaska, potentially giving him at least 315 electoral votes. “There was no other path to victory. We also have won the popular vote. That was great. That was great,” he added as supporters erupted in chants of “USA! USA!”
“Many people have told me that God spared my life for a reason, and that reason was to save our country and to restore America to greatness,” Trump continued. “And now we are going to fulfill that mission together.”
He thanked his supporters, saying, “Winning the popular vote was very nice... It’s a great feeling of love in this very large room, with unbelievable people standing by my side.” With appreciation for those who supported him, he affirmed, “We will make you very proud of your vote.”
Trump then reflected, “I hope that you’re going to look back someday and say, ‘That was one of the truly important moments of my life, when I voted for this group of people, beyond the president. This group of great people.’ America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate. We have taken back control of the Senate. Wow, that’s great.”
He added, “The task before us will not be easy, but I will bring every ounce of energy, spirit, and fighting that I have in my soul to the job that you’ve entrusted to me.”
At the event, Vance celebrated Trump’s success, remarking, “We just witnessed the greatest political comeback in the history of the United States of America.”
He emphasized, “Under President Trump’s leadership, we’re never going to stop fighting for you, for your dreams, for the future of your children. And after the greatest political comeback in American history, we’re going to lead the greatest economic comeback in American history.”
Trump declared that the night was historic, stating, “We are going to fix our borders, we are going to fix everything about our country. We made history for a reason tonight... We overcame obstacles that nobody thought possible.”
“It’s a political victory that our country has never seen before,” he concluded. “I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected your 47th president, and your 45th president.”
