This is a magnificent victory for the American people that will allow us to make America great again. And in addition to having won the battleground states of North Carolina — I love these places — Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, we are now winning in Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, and Alaska, which would result in us carrying at least 315 electoral votes. But it’s much easier doing what the networks did, or whoever called it, because there was no other path. There was no other path to victory. We also have won the popular vote. That was great. That was great,” Trump said as the crowd cheered and chanted “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 said. “And now we are going to fulfill that mission together.”

President-elect Donald Trump stated that “God spared my life for a reason” during his victory speech at Trump Headquarters this week following his resounding and historic victory over Vice President Kamala Harris.

Trump, who has faced two assassination attempts since July, expressed his gratitude for the possibility of a second presidency during his 25-minute speech from West Palm Beach, Fla.
