On Wednesday morning (November 6), it was announced that Trump had won the 2024 US Election, after being projected to win the battleground states of North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

"Every single day I will be fighting for you, with every single breath in my body. I will not rest until we have delivered the strong, safe and prosperous America that children deserve," Trump told supporters at his campaign's HQ in West Palm Beach, Florida.

"And that you deserve. This will truly be the golden age for America."

Following the devastating blow for the Democratic Party, Biden spoke out about the Republican win.

In a statement released this evening, the president praised Harris and said selecting her as his vice president was 'the best decision' he made.

"What America saw today was the Kamala Harris I know and deeply admire," Biden shared. "She's been a tremendous partner and public servant full of integrity, courage, and character."

"Under extraordinary circumstances, she stepped up and led a historic campaign that embodied what’s possible when guided by a strong moral compass and a clear vision for a nation that is more free, more just, and full of more opportunities for all Americans," he continued. "She will continue the fight with purpose, determination, and joy. She will continue to be a champion for all Americans. Above all, she will continue to be a leader our children will look up to for generations to come as she puts her stamp on America’s future."

While Biden had been poised to run again as the Democrat's nominee, he abandoned his presidential candidacy in July.

Addressing his decision to step down, Biden said he thought it was in the 'best interest' of the Democratic Party.

"It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President," part of his statement read.

"And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term."

Back in August, Biden urged America to elect Kamala Harris as the next president, explaining that choosing her to be his vice-president was the 'best decision' he had made.

Following Biden's endorsement, Harris addressed the crowd at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago back in August, telling supporters, as per CBS News: "My entire career, I've only had one client: the people. And so, on behalf of the people, on behalf of every American regardless of party, race, gender or the language your grandmother speaks, on behalf of my mother and everyone who has ever set out on their own unlikely journey, on behalf of Americans like the people I grew up with, people who work hard, chase their dreams, and look out for one another, on behalf of everyone whose story could only be written in the greatest nation on earth, I accept your nomination to be president of the United States of America."
