UK’s Starmer congratulates Donald Trump’s “historic election victory”
Britain’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer congratulated Donald Trump for his election victory on Tuesday (November 6) after the Republican claimed victory in the U.S. presidential election.
“Congratulations President-elect Trump on your historic election victory. I look forward to working with you in the years ahead,” Starmer said on X.
Republican Donald Trump claimed victory and a “powerful mandate” from voters in the 2024 presidential contest after Fox News projected that he had defeated Democrat Kamala Harris, which would cap a stunning political comeback four years after he left the White House.
“America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate,” he said early on Wednesday to a roaring crowd of supporters at the Palm Beach County Convention Center, flanked by his vice presidential running mate, Senator JD Vance, Republican leaders and members of Trump’s family.
Other news outlets had yet to call the race for Trump, but he appeared on the verge of winning after capturing the battleground states of Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia and holding leads in the other four, according to Edison Research.
