President-elect Donald Trump was serenaded by two women as he celebrated his stunning US election victory over Democrat rival Kamala Harris. Donning his signature red Make America Great Again (MAGA) cap, the 78-year-old grinned and tapped along as the Natasha Owens song ‘Trump Won’ was played over the speakers and belted out to him by guests.
Alina Habba, Trump’s famous attorney, and another female campaign aide were seen jubilantly throwing their hands in the air and doting over the election winner, who was sat down with them enjoying what appeared to be a glass of Coke.
One of the women could be seen dancing and pointing at Trump as she tried to get the crowd going, while Ms Habba leaned forward to tell him something while brushing his arm.
As the song came to an end with the lyrics ‘Everybody knows Trump won!’, the Republican winner joined in by tapping his fingers on the dining table where the three were sat.
The Florida estate was filled with excitement on Tuesday as Trump continued to ride a wave of capturing swing states throughout the evening.
Mar-a-Lago erupted in cheers as Trump won the race, while Kamala Harris had to cancel her election party and refused to speak opposite Trump’s victory speech.
Images emerged from the estate early in the evening of Trump chatting with Elon Musk and Dana White, while guests shared snaps from its ballroom.
The race initially appeared neck-and-neck as Americans went to the polls Tuesday after a tense months-long build-up.
Democrats had been counting on holding the trio of states – Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania – to give Harris the White House. Biden won them in 2020.
But in the end Harris didn’t improve upon President Joe Biden’s performance against Trump four years ago.
Trump won them instead, giving him 292 electoral votes to Harris’s 224. It takes 270 to win the presidency.
Harris is now on track to do worse than Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election.
She could even be on pace to have the worst Electoral College result of any Democrat since the 1988 race.
Exit polls show his victory came after he made gains with nearly every voting bloc he lost in the 2020 election and put together a coalition of multi-ethnic working-class voters.
And Harris did worse on Tuesday than Biden in the 2020 contest among key voting groups including women, the working class and Latinos.
The clip was shared to social media by Sigalit ‘Siggy’ Flicker, a known Trump supporter and previous star of The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
Flicker wrote: ‘Besides the birth of my children, last night was one of the most magical nights. What a beautiful time to be alive!’
Flicker had tagged Ms Habba, Trump’s famous lawyer and a MAGA favorite, in the video. The two had both been at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday evening.
Ms Habba shared a photo of the pair at Mar-a-Lago with the caption: ‘Proud to always have your back Mr. President. #45 #47. Now we get to work and save America.’
The race initially appeared neck-and-neck as Americans went to the polls Tuesday after a tense months-long build-up.
Biden, who watched the astonishing results from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue on Tuesday night, is also planning to address the nation on Thursday.
He said he talked to President-elect Trump today and invited him to the White House after the final results rolled.
The White House confirmed Biden and Trump spoke on the phone on Wednesday afternoon and ’emphasized the importance of working to bring the country together’ as well as a ‘smooth transition’.
It was a similar tone Kamala Harris took when she called Trump to finally concede the election after Trump swept the majority of the swing states.
Trump and Biden frequently exchanged very personal jabs during the campaign, with the Republican targeting the president’s decline and the Democrat saying he was the sort of person he would like to ‘smack in the a**’.
Biden has said he will go to Trump’s inauguration, after the president-elect skipped his in 2020 and instead flew straight to Mar-a-Lago.
Harris, during her campaign, repeatedly vowed to be a president ‘for all Americans’.
Trump will begin the process of choosing a cabinet and selecting other high-ranking administration officials in the coming weeks following his victory. He is set to take office on January 20.
