Appearing onstage in Palm Beach, Florida alongside his family, running mate JD Vance, and UFC head Dana White, Trump told supporters: “This was, I believe, the greatest political movement of all time.

“And now it’s going to reach a new level of importance because we’re going to help our country heal... we made history for a reason tonight.”

He added: “Every single day I will be fighting for you... this is a magnificent victory for the American people that will allow us to make America great again.”

Mr Vance declared that Trump had mounted “the greatest political comeback in the history of the United States”, while Mr White told the crowd: “The machine… couldn’t stop him.”

The Republican did not mention Kamala Harris in his speech.

Ms Harris’ results night party at her alma mater in Washington, DC ended early when her team confirmed she would not address the nation tonight.
