Republican nominee Donald Trump declared victory in the United States presidential race after securing four of the seven battleground states.

At a rally in West Palm Beach, Florida, Trump addressed a large crowd, expressing deep gratitude for being entrusted once again with leading the country.

“I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected as your 47th president, and your 45th president as well,” Trump stated, acknowledging both his new role and his previous term.

“I will be fighting for you with every breath in my body.

I will not rest until we have delivered the strong, safe, and prosperous America that our children deserve and that you deserve.”

The atmosphere was electric, with his supporters erupting in cheers and chants, celebrating his return to the Oval Office.

Meanwhile, House Speaker Mike Johnson confirmed Trump’s win, calling him the president-elect.

As Trump moved closer to securing the crucial 270 electoral votes needed to claim the presidency, prominent figures from the Republican party and Trump’s campaign expressed confidence in his victory, with news agencies like Reuters reporting updates throughout the day.

Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee and current vice president, has so far garnered 205 electoral votes.

Her campaign co-chair, Cedric Richmond, assured supporters that Harris is not conceding and will address the public tomorrow.

Speaking to a gathering of Democratic supporters, Richmond emphasized that counting is still underway in key states, with some results still pending.

“We still have votes to count. We still have states that have not been called yet,” he remarked, calling for patience.

“We will continue overnight, to fight to make sure that every vote is counted, that every voice has spoken.” Richmond’s comments reflect the campaign’s commitment to ensuring an accurate and thorough count, particularly in states where the results remain close.

This election season was marked by intense campaigning and a fierce rivalry between Trump and Harris, with both candidates vying for control over swing states to secure their place in the White House.

After a rigorous and often contentious race, Trump’s success in the battleground states puts him at an electoral advantage.

Leading with 267 electoral votes, Trump is on the verge of a decisive win, while Harris currently trails with 214.

The outcome in these crucial swing states, which have historically tipped the balance in close elections, played a pivotal role in Trump’s pathway to victory.

Throughout his campaign, Trump emphasized his commitment to strengthening the economy, enhancing national security, and addressing what he described as fundamental American values.

As a former president, Trump is the first since Grover Cleveland to pursue a non-consecutive second term, underscoring his unique position in modern U.S. political history.

In the days leading up to the election, Trump voiced concerns about potential irregularities in the voting process, specifically pointing to the use of electronic voting machines.

However, he said he would accept the results “if it’s a fair election,” emphasizing his desire for transparency in the counting process.

Casting his vote in Florida on Election Day, Trump conveyed optimism about reclaiming the presidency, describing it as one of the most crucial elections in recent American history.

Senator Abba Moro, representing Benue South and serving as the Senate Minority Leader, has voiced strong support for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as it works to rebuild and prepare for the 2027 general elections. Speaking at the party’s 99th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting on Tuesday, May 27, 2027, in Abuja, Moro said PDP lawmakers in the National Assembly fully back the efforts of the party’s leadership, including the National Working Committee, Board of Trustees, governors, and other key figures.

“We believe in the plans being rolled out by our leaders. These activities will lead us to a successful national convention,” he said. Moro was optimistic about the future of the party, urging members and supporters to stay hopeful. “There’s no better time to remind Nigerians that the PDP is coming back,” he said with confidence.

While acknowledging that the party has lost some members recently, he described those defections as only short-term challenges, insisting that the PDP still holds the strongest nationwide presence. He reminded the gathering of how the party started with just 16 individuals determined to shape Nigeria’s democratic future, and encouraged everyone to remain united and focused. “Nigeria needs an alternative,” Moro said. “And that alternative is the PDP.”

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has raised serious concerns about the worsening insecurity and declining economy under President Bola Tinubu’s administration. This was a key point during the PDP’s 99th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held on Tuesday in Abuja. The party also said it would carefully consider the South-East caucus’s resolutions at a special meeting scheduled for June 30, 2025. The NEC meeting, which faced several delays before finally taking place, focused on urgent issues affecting the country and the party.

In a statement read by Acting National Chairman Iliya Damagum, the PDP criticized the current government for what it called growing insecurity, economic struggles, and widespread corruption. The statement described the Tinubu-led administration as exploitative and out of touch with the people’s needs. It condemned inconsistent policies, corruption, budget misuse, and the loss of investor confidence, which have led to a decline in Nigeria’s infrastructure.

The PDP also accused the government of trying to weaken opposition parties by intimidating politicians and undermining democratic institutions. Despite these challenges, the party reaffirmed its commitment to democracy, the rule of law, and the people’s right to freely participate in a multi-party political system. The PDP made it clear that it will continue to stand against any moves to limit Nigeria’s democracy or create a one-party system.

Governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have declared that they won’t be shaken by any form of intimidation from the Federal Government. Speaking at the party’s 99th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting in Abuja, the governors accused the current administration of using pressure tactics and exclusion to weaken the party. But they made it clear—they’re not backing down.

Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, who also chairs the PDP Governors Forum, said the Tinubu-led government has created a political environment filled with provocations and hurdles. He admitted that the party has faced defections and ongoing talks about alliances, but insisted that PDP is still strong and united.

“No kind of pressure or manipulation has been left out,” he said. “But we’re still here, standing firm in our commitment to good governance.” He pointed out that unlike other parties that are battling internal divisions, the PDP has managed to stay united. “We are not like the others with constant in-fighting. We remain one family,” he said.

Governor Mohammed also highlighted how the party has been staying active by holding meetings across several states and releasing communiqués that tackle key national issues. He mentioned recent gatherings in Plateau, Taraba, Oyo, Delta, Akwa Ibom, and Bauchi as proof that the party is not fading away. He praised party leaders for their resilience and described the NEC meeting as a clear victory for democracy and responsible leadership in the face of growing national challenges.
