US election: Trump claims victory, hails ‘unprecedented mandate’ as he addresses supporters

Donald Trump declared victory in the US presidential election on Wednesday (Nov 6), telling supporters that America had given them an “unprecedented mandate”.
Speaking in Florida not long after projections gave him a win in the battleground state of Pennsylvania, Trump told a jubilant crowd that he would fight for every citizen.
The 78-year-old is still a few electoral votes short of the 270 needed for an outright victory, but that appears to be a foregone conclusion at this stage.
