Donald Trump wins US presidential election, Harris concedes

America has given us a powerful and unprecedented mandate,

he declared on Wednesday

I think clearly we've now seen as demonstrated by the exit polls, the people that were unhappy about the direction of the country, unhappy about the economy, they broke decisively against Harris,

Tucker said

I believe that more efforts will be made for a fairer world. I hope the elections will be auspicious for the friendly and allied people of the U.S. and all humanity,

Erdoğan said

I congratulate my friend Donald Trump, who won the presidential election in the U.S. after a great struggle and was reelected,

Erdoğan said in a post on X Wednesday

We overcame obstacles that nobody ever thought we could,

Trump told supporters in his victory speech delivered early Wednesday morning in Florida

Harris banked on this issue and it appealed to 18- to 29-year-old women, where she made inroads,

said Egan

I think a lot of it came down to the fact that prices remained high under Biden,

J. Miles Coleman, an analyst with the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, told DW

A lot of what Americans care about is bread and butter domestic issues,

Egan said

Trump did pretty well with minorities, that's unusual for a Republican candidate,

Campbell said

Trump made an aggressive pitch to 18- to 29-year-old men across different ethnic groups and was successful,

Michelle Egan, a professor of politics, governance and economics at American University, told DW

But the shock and surprise this year are nothing compared to what it was like in the US in 2016

when Trump first won ... Campbell told DW

Elections in this country are almost always a referendum on the incumbent administration and Harris didn't divorce herself enough from that,

he said

We made history for a reason tonight, and the reason is going to be just that we overcame obstacles that nobody thought possible, and it is now clear that we've achieved the most incredible political thing,

Trump said in his speech

Many people have told me that God spared my life for a reason,

Trump said, referring to the two assassination attempts on his life during the election campaign this year

We’re going to help our country heal".

At the same time, he added

This is a magnificent victory for the American people. This was a movement like nobody's ever seen before, and frankly, this was, I believe, the greatest political movement of all time. There's never been anything like this in this country, and maybe beyond,

Trump said

Together, let’s work for the betterment of our people and to promote global peace, stability and prosperity,

he said

I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honour of being elected your 47th president and your 45th president,

he said

And now it's going to reach a new level of importance because we're going to help our country heal. We'll help our country...we have a country that needs help, and it needs help very badly,

he said

I think he's lost it. He's deeply mentally unstable, and I think he has been for some time,
