Watch again as Donald Trump declared victory in the US election as he hailed a “golden age” for America.

The Republican made the declaration, despite ballots still being counted in some swing states.

Speaking at his campaign watch party in Palm Beach on Wednesday (6 November), Trump said: “This is the greatest political movement of all time and now it’s going to reach a new level of importance because we’re going to let our country heal.”

The economy and the state of US democracy were among the top issues cited by voters in NBC News’s exit poll, according to the preliminary results.

Thirty-five percent said democracy was their top issue while slightly fewer, 31 percent, said the economy. Abortion was the top issue for 14 percent of voters while 11 percent said immigration. Four percent said foreign policy was most important to them.
