Donald Trump clinches White House race

Donald Trump defied the odds to clinch the race for White House, defeating Democratic Party's rival Kamala Harris in a high-stakes presidential contest. With a win in Wisconsin, Trump cleared the 270 electoral votes needed to clinch the presidency. Counting of votes in Michigan, Arizona and Alaska are underway. 

Republicans have taken control of the US Senate and are fighting to keep their majority in the US House, which would produce a full sweep of the party's power in Congress alongside President-elect Donald Trump in the White House.

While addressing a crowd of supporters in Florida, Trump called results as an“unprecedented and powerful mandate” for Republicans. He called the Senate rout “incredible.” And he praised House Speaker Mike Johnson, who dashed from his own party in Louisiana to join Trump.
