US election: Trump declares victory, Harris yet to concede
Legit.ng earlier reported that Trump declared victory over Harris after being projected to win the key battleground states of Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia.
To win the presidency, a candidate needs at least 270 Electoral votes. The Republican presidential candidate lost his re-election bid in 2020 to incumbent president, Joe Bidden of the Democrat.
However, Harris is yet to concede defeat to Trump as at the time of filling this report.
