Former President Donald Trump took the stage with his family at West Palm Beach County Convention Center early Wednesday morning to the raucous cheers of supporters

As Trump neared the projected 270 electoral votes needed to win, he declared victory as Vice President Kamala Harris' path to reach that threshold narrowed following projections for Trump in North Carolina, Georgia and in highly prized Pennsylvania.

At the time ABC News had not yet projected a winner in the overall race, or in the four remaining swing states, as results continued to come in.

"We overcame obstacles that nobody thought possible," Trump said. "And it is now clear that we've achieved the most incredible political -- hey, look what happened, isn't this crazy? But it's a political victory."

“It's a political victory that our country is never seen before, nothing like this," he added. "I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected your 47th president and your 45th president." ...

Saudi Arabia has emerged as a central player in the pursuit of a U.S.-brokered peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, in large part due to the political capital it wields with its massive oil reserves.

President Donald Trump suggested Riyadh as a meeting place to kick off face-to-face talks between himself and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Putin agreed the location was acceptable. To some it might seem a curious choice, but the Middle Eastern kingdom has reasons to involve itself in finding an end to the conflict happening thousands of miles...

A mammoth bill advancing a broad range of President Donald Trump’s policy goals survived a key hurdle on Thursday, putting Republicans closer to their goal of passing a bill by sometime in May.

The legislation passed the House Budget Committee on a party-line 21 to 16 vote and is expected to be taken up by the entire chamber for a floor vote later this month.
