Donald Trump declared victory in the US presidential election on Wednesday (Nov 6), telling supporters that America had given them an "unprecedented mandate".

Speaking in Florida not long after projections gave him a win in the battleground state of Pennsylvania, Trump told a jubilant crowd that he would fight for every citizen.

As it stands, the 78-year-old is still a few electoral votes short of the 270 needed for an outright victory, but he is all set to become only the second person to serve two non-consecutive terms as US president.
