Thank you. Thank you very much. Please sit. Thank you. This is without question the latest news conference Ive ever had. Thank you. I appreciate it very much. And I want to thank the American people for their tremendous support, millions and millions of people voted for us tonight. And a very sad group of people is trying to disenfranchise that group of people and we wont stand for it. We will not stand for it.Donald Trump: (00:54)I want to thank the first lady, my entire family, and Vice President Pence, Mrs. Pence for being with us all through this. And we were getting ready for a big celebration. We were winning everything and all of a sudden it was just called off. The results tonight have been phenomenal and we are getting ready I mean, literally we were just all set to get outside and just celebrate something that was so beautiful, so good. Such a vote, such a success to citizens of this country have come out in record numbers. This is a record. Theres never been anything like it to support our incredible movement. We won States that we werent expected to win. Florida, we didnt win it. We won it by a lot.Donald Trump: (01:54)We won the great State of Ohio. We won Texas, we won Texas. We won Texas. We won Texas by 700,000 votes and they dont even include it in the tabulations. Its also clear that we have won Georgia. Were up by 2.5% or 117,000 votes with only 7% left. Theyre never going to catch us. They cant catch us. Likewise weve clearly won North Carolina. Where were up 1.4%. Were 77,000 votes with only approximately 5% left. They cant catch us. We also, if you look and you see Arizona, we have a lot of life in that. And somebody declared that it was a victory for us. And maybe it will be. I mean, thats possible. But certainly there were a lot of votes out there that we could get because were now just coming into what they call Trump territory. I dont know what you call it. But these were friendly Trump voters. And that could be overturned.Donald Trump: (03:14)The gentleman that called it, I watched tonight. He said, Well, we think its fairly unlikely that he could catch. Well, fairly unlikely and we dont even need it. We dont need that. That was just a state that if we would have gotten it, it would have been nice. Arizona. But theres a possibility, maybe even a good possibility. In fact, since I saw that originally its been changed and the numbers have substantially come down just in a small amount of votes. So we want that obviously to stay in play. But most importantly, were winning Pennsylvania by a tremendous amount of votes.Donald Trump: (04:14)Were up 600 Think of this. Think of this. Think of this. Were up 690,000 votes in Pennsylvania, 690,000. These arent even close. This is not like, Oh, its less With 64% of the vote in, its going to be almost impossible to catch. And were coming into good Pennsylvania areas where they happen to like your president. I mean, its very good. So well probably expand that. Were winning Michigan, but Ill tell you, I looked at the numbers. I said, Wow. I looked, I said, Wow, thats a lot. By almost 300,000 votes and 65% of the voters in and were winning Wisconsin. And I said, Well, we dont need all of them. We need Because when you add Texas in, which wasnt added, I spoke with the really wonderful governor of Texas just a little while ago, Greg Abbott, he said, Congratulations. He called me to congratulate me on winning Texas.Donald Trump: (05:26)I mean, we won Texas. I dont think they finished quite the tabulation, but theres no way. And it was almost complete, but he congratulated me. Then he said, By the way, whats going on' Ive never seen anything like this. Can I tell you what nobody has' So we won by 107,000 votes with 81% of the vote. Thats Michigan. So when you take those three States in particular and you take all of the others, I mean, we have so many We had such a big night. You just take a look at all of these States that weve won tonight, and then you take a look at the kind of margins that weve won it by, and all of a sudden, its not like were up 12 votes and we have 60% left. We won States. And all of a sudden I said, What happened to the election' Its off' And we have all these announces saying what happened' And then they said, Oh.Donald Trump: (06:24)Because you know what happened' They knew they couldnt win so they said, Lets go to court. And did I predict this, Newt' Did I say this' Ive been saying this from the day I heard they were going to send out tens of millions of ballots. They said exactly, because either they were going to win or if they didnt win, theyll take us to court. So Florida was a tremendous victory. 377,000 votes. Texas, as we said. Ohio, think of this. Ohio a tremendous state, a big state. I love Ohio. We won by 8.1%, 460,00think of this. Almost 500,000 votes. North Carolina, a big victory with North Carolina. So we won there. We lead by 76,000 votes with almost nothing left. And all of a sudden everything just stopped.Donald Trump: (07:28)This is a fraud on the American public. This is an embarrassment to our country. We were getting ready to win this election. Frankly, we did win this election. We did win this election. So our goal now is to ensure the integrity for the good of this nation. This is a very big moment. This is a major fraud in our nation. We want the law to be used in a proper manner. So well be going to the US Supreme Court. We want all voting to stop. We dont want them to find any ballots at four oclock in the morning and add them to the list. Okay' Its a very sad moment. To me this is a very sad moment and we will win this. And as far as Im concerned, we already have won it.Donald Trump: (08:30)So I just want to thank you. I want to thank all of our support. I want to thank all of the people that worked with us. And Mr. Vice President, say a few words, please. Please.Mike Pence: (08:46)Thank you, Mr. President. I want to join you in thanking more than 60 million Americans who have already cast their vote for four more years for president Donald Trump in the White House. While the votes continue to be counted, were going to remain vigilant, as the president said. The right to vote has been at the center of our democracy since the founding of this nation and were going to protect the integrity of the vote. But I really believe with all of my heart, with the extraordinary margins, Mr. President, that youve inspired in the States that you just described, and the way that you launched this movement across the country to make America great again, I truly do believe as you do that we are on the road to victory and we will make America great again, again. Thank you, Mr. President.Donald Trump: (09:51)Thank you very much [inaudible 00:09:56]. Thank you very much.
