New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended heartfelt congratulations to Donald Trump as US election results indicate a decisive Republican victory. In a message shared on X, PM Modi expressed optimism about renewing the India-US Comprehensive Global and Strategic Partnership, referring to Trump as "my friend" and celebrating his "historic election victory."
"As you build on the successes of your previous term, I look forward to renewing our collaboration to strengthen the India-US partnership. Together, let’s work for the prosperity of our people and global peace," PM Modi tweeted.
The 2024 election has marked an unexpected comeback for Trump, with Republicans securing all seven battleground states. This outcome reversed the 2020 results, where Democrats held a 6-1 lead in these regions. Trump, addressing his supporters as the poll projections came in, called it a "magnificent victory for the American people." He also recalled surviving an assassination attempt in July, saying, "God spared my life for a reason."
Calling the Republican campaign the "greatest political movement of all time," Trump promised his supporters that he would "heal the nation, secure borders, and fight for the American people." He acknowledged his team, including running mate JD Vance, his wife Melania Trump, and his family. Trump also thanked Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and X, for his vocal support.
With Republicans projected to achieve a massive electoral vote count of 315, they have also gained control of the Senate and lead the race for the House of Representatives, making this victory even more significant.
