• Trump wins: Former President Donald Trump will defeat Vice President Kamala Harris and return to the White House, CNN projects, in a moment of historic consequence for American democracy. His projected win in battleground Wisconsin put the Republican over the top with 276 electoral votes as counting continues in some key states.

Historic comeback: Trump will return to the nation’s highest office four years after losing the 2020 election, attempting to overturn the results, facing two presidential impeachments, a criminal conviction and many other criminal charges. He’s also projected to become only the second president to win two nonconsecutive terms.

• Trump addresses supporters: In a speech before the race was called, Trump said he would usher in a “golden age of America.” He made the economy and immigration a focus of his campaign, many times pushing false claims. He also celebrated Republicans’ projected control of the Senate. Harris is expected to speak later today.

Trump’s victory could mean the US withdraws support for Ukraine

With the reelection of Donald Trump, Ukraine may soon have to adjust to a dramatic reduction in US support that could have a decisive impact on the war with Russia.

Throughout his campaign, the Republican president-elect and his running mate, JD Vance, have cast strong doubts on continued US commitment to Kyiv as the war drags on more than two and half years after Russian forces invaded. Moreover, Trump has made comments that suggest the US could pressure Ukraine into an uneasy truce with Russia.

Trump’s victory comes at a precarious moment in the conflict for Kyiv. Russia has steadily been making gains in the eastern Donbas region, which Russia’s President Vladimir Putin aims to capture in full.

Ukraine’s Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said the situation on the front line “remains difficult” and certain areas “require constant renewal of resources of Ukrainian units” in a statement on Telegram Saturday morning.

Meanwhile, Russia is understood to be bolstering its manpower with North Korean forces. As many as 10,000 North Korean troops are in Russia’s Kursk region and are expected to enter combat against Ukraine in the coming days, US officials have warned.

Republican lawmakers congratulate Trump on reelection

Republicans in Congress are congratulating Donald Trump on his historic reelection.

House Speaker Mike Johnson said in a statement, “With President Trump back in the White House, there is no obstacle too great and no challenge too difficult.”

Sen. Lindsey Graham called on special counsel Jack Smith to end his federal investigations into Trump.

“To Jack Smith and your team: It is time to look forward to a new chapter in your legal careers as these politically motivated charges against President Trump hit a wall,” Graham posted on x.com.

“The Supreme Court substantially rejected what you were trying to do, and after tonight, it’s clear the American people are tired of lawfare. Bring these cases to an end. The American people deserve a refund,” he said.

Sen. John Thune said on X, “The incoming Senate Republican majority will work hand-in-hand with the Trump-Vance administration to lower costs for families, secure our southern border, and renew America’s energy dominance.”

Earlier, CNN projected that Republicans will win control of the Senate. It remains unclear which party will hold the majority in the House.

Sen. John Cornyn said in a statement, “I’m confident President Trump will hit the ground running to restore the Office of the President to what it should be – one that keeps the American people safe and prosperous.”

Cornyn added, “Come January, we must be ready to confirm his nominees, pass a budget, address our debt, extend the Trump tax cuts, and reverse Kamala Harris’ disastrous border security policies.”
