Declaring victory for himself at a massive gathering, Trump said, "America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate. We have taken back control of the Senate."
The Republican candidate is hopeful to take control of the House of Representatives as well.
"It's a political victory our country has never seen before," says Trump, who will be the second President in the history of the US to return to office after a break. He said this "is truly the beginning of the golden age of America."
"We made a history for a reason tonight," he said.

Trump said that former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would help to “make America healthy again” Amid chants of “Bobby! Bobby!” by the gathering, Trump said, “He wants to do some things, and we’re going to let him go to it.”
On oil supply too, Trump advocated his country's dominance in a stern message to other suppliers including Russia, which is already facing the diplomatic wrath of the western world over its war against Ukraine.
“I will not let you down. America’s future will be bigger, better, bolder, richer, safer, and stronger than it has ever been before,” Trump said.
