Trump declared victory after Fox News projected him as the overall winner after decisive victories in three swing states, leaving 270 Electoral College votes out of Harris’ reach.
The official confirmation came as the battleground state of Wisconsin was called upon to push Trump to an unassailable lead.
However, Vice President Harris has yet to concede the election at 9 a.m. EST.
