Donald Trump has declared victory in the US election as he addressed jubilant supporters in Florida – but votes in key states are still being counted.<\/p>\n

Speaking at West Palm Beach, he told crowds: “Look what happened – is this crazy?” – adding: “I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honour of being elected your 47th president.”<\/p>\n

He told the crowd he had won a “magnificent victory for the American people”.<\/p>\n

Trump has won in the key battleground states of Georgia, Pennsylvania and North Carolina – and is leading in several others – narrowing Kamala Harris’s path to victory significantly.<\/p>\n

Harris will now not address her supporters until later on Wednesday, her campaign chair has said.<\/p>\n

The vice president had been scheduled to make a speech at her alma mater, Howard University, after the polls closed, but the mood grew sombre as results began to trickle in.<\/p>\n

Cedric Richmond, co-chair of the Harris campaign, told the crowds at the university: “We will continue overnight to fight to make sure, every vote is counted, that every voice has spoken.<\/p>\n

“So you won’t hear from the vice president tonight but you will hear from her tomorrow. She will be back here tomorrow.”<\/p>\n

The Howard community had been preparing for a historic night – Harris would become the first woman, black woman and South Asian American to assume the presidency, if elected.<\/p>\n

But in the 21 remaining states where more than 80% of the vote has been counted, there has been a swing towards Donald Trump, NBC News reports.<\/p>\n

In seven of them, the swing is less than one point.<\/p>\n
