Trump appeared on stage in Florida to claim victory after winning Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, although he is still three electoral votes short of being declared the next president, according to projections from the Associated Press.
The winner needs at least 270 electoral votes to win, with Kamala Harris’s path to victory narrowing.
Keir Starmer tweeted his congratulations to Trump at 8.21am, before he had actually secured victory, saying: “I look forward to working with you in the years ahead.”
Outside of the US presidential race, Republicans have won the US Senate – winning control of the chamber for the first time in four years.
