Former President Donald Trump spoke early Wednesday morning from his election night headquarters in West Palm Beach, Florida, as Vice President Kamala Harris' path to victory narrows. Senator JD Vance and Trump's family were on stage with him.

CBS News has not yet made a prediction Presidential raceas Trump currently does not have the votes to declare victory.

“I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected your 47th President and your 45th President,” Trump said. “And every citizen, I will fight for you, for your family and for your future. Every single day I will fight for you with every breath in my body.”

Trump said America had “given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate” and noted that Republicans had taken back control of the Senate.

“This will truly be the golden age of America,” he said.

So far, the battleground states that CBS News is predicting Trump will win are North Carolina, Georgia and Pennsylvania. CBS News rates Wisconsin as a Trump supporter. He needs 270 electoral votes to win.
