16 分钟Good morning.
It's Wednesday, November 6th.
I'm Sumita Basu.
This is Apple News Today.
On today's show, America reelects Donald Trump.
In the very early hours of the morning, Fox News called the race for Donald Trump.
The Fox News decision desk can now officially project that Donald Trump will become the 47th president of the United States.
Nicole?
The president's comeback will be complete with a win in Wisconsin, a state that he narrowly lost four years ago.
And at about 6am Eastern, the AP officially called it two Trump defeats Kamala Harris.
This means that Trump will become the first president to serve non consecutive terms since the 1800s, the oldest person to become president and the first convicted felon to be elected to the nation's highest office.
We all went into this election knowing it would be extremely close and it would come down to seven battleground states.
Pretty early in the night, it seemed clear that Harris was not getting the turnout she needed.
The first battleground state to be called was North Carolina for Trump, then Georgia for Trump.
At that point, Harris was relying on all three blue wall states.
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan.
Then early Wednesday morning, the AP called Pennsylvania for Trump and Wisconsin a few hours later, putting him over the 270 electoral votes win.
Just moments after Pennsylvania was called, when it was mathematically all but certain Trump would win, he addressed his supporters from West Palm Beach, Florida, where he was accompanied by his wife Melania and their family.
We made history for a reason tonight, and the reason is going to be just that.
We overcame obstacles that nobody thought possible.
