Former President Trump declared victory in front of his supporters, saying he was honored to be elected president again.
I'll connect you to Washington for more information. Correspondent Kwon Jun-ki!
Former President Trump's victory is almost confirmed?
[Reporter]
Yes, according to CNN's tally, Trump has 266 electors, nearly the requirement for a presidential victory of 270.
Harris has a big gap with Trump, staying on board with 205 electors.
Now, if Trump secures four more electors, he will win, and if he wins any of the remaining states, he will win the presidential election.
Wisconsin, which is currently a rival state, is also almost leaning toward Trump.
About 94% of the votes are being counted, and Trump is 3% ahead.
In the case of Fox News, Trump has already secured 277 electors to become the 47th U.S. president, beating Harris, who secured 226.
The tally is not completely over, but he nailed Trump's election as a sure thing.
According to the official tally, the vote count is still underway, including a few competing states, but Trump is leading in most regions, which is believed to have lowered his spirit.
The New York Times predicted that it would secure 312 electors, predicting Trump's chances of winning the election to more than 95%.
If this prediction is true, it will be a great victory.

Former President Trump declared victory early, right?
[Reporter]
Yes, Trump moved to the West Palm Beach Convention Center, where supporters gathered, after he was deemed to have won the vote while watching the vote from his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida.Former President Trump, who was on the stage with his family, including
Melania and his son, congratulated his supporters here by declaring his de facto victory in the presidential election.
Trump has promised to go back to the White House and fix the country Biden and Harris have broken.
Let's listen to it.
[Donald Trump / Former U.S. President: It will help heal America. We have a country in need and that country is in very dire need. We are going to fix our borders and fix everything in this country and today's room we made history for a reason and the reason is to fix this country.]
Vice President Harris, on the other hand, was originally scheduled to stand in front of supporters after watching the results of the vote at Howard University in Washington, his alma mater, but canceled his speech as the atmosphere of the vote did not go as expected.
Let's listen to the Harris camp's announcement.
[Harris Camp] There will be no vice presidential speech tonight. But I'm going to come back here tomorrow and speak to the entire nation as well as to Howard University alumni and supporters.

In the end, the presidential contenders decided the winner or loser, right?
[Reporter]
Yes, the seven contenders who said they would decide the owner of the White House divided the mood when they ruled in favor of Trump.
Former President Trump was the first to secure victory in North Carolina among the competing states, followed by Georgia.
Georgia lost to President Biden by 12,000 votes four years ago, and this time it won by more than 130,000 votes, making a decisive contribution to Trump's victory.
With Vice President Harris in a tight spot as Trump took two Sun Belt contention states, even Pennsylvania moved to Trump, and the atmosphere began to shift sharply.
Pennsylvania is where Harris made her determination to win by staging an intense campaign rally on the last day of her campaign.
It was 2 a.m. here time that Pennsylvania's victory was certain, and shortly after that, Trump showed up at the Florida Convention Center and declared his victory.

You're wrong to expect this to be the most close presidential election ever.
[Reporter]
Yes, the final result is not out yet, but the current atmosphere is like that.
The poll predicted it would be the fiercest close race, with a tie or a 1-2%p difference by the end.
For this reason, it was predicted that it could take several days for the results of the presidential election to come out.
When I opened the lid, Trump's dominance continued from the beginning, and as news of the victory spread one after another, the victory leaned toward Trump sooner than expected.
U.S. media say Trump won higher votes in actual voting than polls in both 2016 and 2020, but this time he has reduced the gap with actual votes through several corrections.
However, this time, the forecast is more likely to be wrong.
In addition, unlike the electors' vote, the Democratic Party has an advantage in the referendum and Harris' victory is expected this time, but this time, Trump is ahead by more than 5 million votes in the total number of votes, which is expected to break the Democratic Party's formula for winning the referendum.
U.S. media analyzed that votes have shifted toward Republicans in almost all states, and traditional strong Democratic areas such as Delaware and Vermont have also seen Trump's vote share rise.
The New York Times columnist said he knew the United States was a divided country, but now he seems to have to change the frame, adding that it could actually be a country dominated by Trump.

Republicans retake Senate majority following Trump's possible re-entry into White House?
[Reporter]
Yes, along with the presidential election, the House and Senate elections were held, and the Republican Party took away the Democratic district and became the majority.
So far, he has won Nebraska, West Virginia and Ohio, securing at least 51 of the 100 seats.
It is the first time in four years that Republicans have won the Senate majority.
House election results are still uncertain, but Republicans currently lead 192-170
Both the
White House and the House and Senate cannot rule out the possibility of Republicans taking it.
There are also observations that if this happens, Trump will have unwavering power.
So far, I've delivered it from Washington.
