WEST PALM BEACH, Florida (News Talk 1480 WHBC) – Donald Trump is now the president-elect.
Early Wednesday, the Republican candidate secured more than enough electoral votes to win Tuesday’s general election, based on media projections.
He spoke to cheering supporters at the convention center in West Palm Beach early Wednesday morning.
Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris to become only the second President in U.S. history to be elected to non-consecutive terms.
The first was President Grover Cleveland.
The Trump/Vance ticket won 55-percent of the vote in Ohio, and 60-percent in Stark County.
