Republican candidate and former President Donald Trump inched closer to victory, sweeping through all major swing states, including Pennslyvania, Georgia and North Carolina. The former president, who held an election day bash at his Mar-a-Lago residence, declared himself a victor to a room full of supporters on Wednesday early morning. However, major networks have announced his win, except pro-GOP media.  

"I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected your 47th president, and your 45th president," Trump said to a room full of his most devout supporters. He added that "God spared my life for a reason."

The initial results held no surprise as both Trump and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris made big wins in 'Red' and 'Blue' states, respectively. The focus then was on seven swing states, where the results were a close call.

However, defying the expectations of Democrats that the Rust Belt would come to their aid, Trump went on to win Pennsylvania, a key swing state, and Georgia. By IST 1:30 pm, Trump was holding strong leads in both Michigan and Wisconsin.

Over 130 crucial countries across the three 'Blue Wall' states gave Trump a major margin, than his 2020 stint. 

More than 130 counties across those three Blue Wall states are reporting complete or close-to-complete results, and in almost all of them Trump has gained on his margins from four years ago.
