It was pure exhilaration at the Palm Beach County Convention Center. The lines at the multiple bars at Donald Trump’s watch party kept growing. Actor Jon Voight took pictures with MAGA supporters. Billionaire David Sacks told NOTUS he was feeling “good.” And Roger Stone told reporters that Trump’s performance was “the greatest comeback in American political history.”

Nine primary challengers, two Democratic candidates, two assassination attempts, four indictments and 34 convictions later, Trump has secured his second term in the White House.

“This will truly be a golden age of America,” Trump said as he declared victory at 2:30 a.m.
