Former President Donald Trump celebrated his triumph in the Republican presidential primary on Tuesday, calling his nomination a “great day for victory.”
After Trump and President Joe Biden both clinched their party’s nominations on Tuesday evening, Trump released a video addressing his supporters.
“Hello everyone, it’s your favorite president speaking to you on a really great day of victory,” said Trump:
One week ago, we had something called Super Tuesday, and it was indeed super because we won at numbers that nobody has ever seen before. Records in virtually every state, and tonight, likewise. But this one got us over the top. The Republican National Committee has just declared us the official nominee and so we’re the official nominee of the Republican Party, which is a big deal, but most importantly we now have to go on to victory because our country’s in serious trouble.
We have millions and millions of people flowing in. We have no respect on the world stage. What we say doesn’t mean a thing anymore, and to have that happen is unthinkable. We have an economy that, outside of certain little areas, is doing very poorly, and we have something very, very important. We have a United States military that has to be taken care of. Again, this is a great day of victory, last week was something very special, Super Tuesday, but now we have to get back to work because we have the worst president in the history of our country. His name is Joe Biden, sometimes referred to as Crooked Joe Biden, and he must be defeated.
Trump declared, “We’re a nation that is in serious decline. We’ve never had a situation like this where we’re not respected, we’re laughed at, we’re considered almost a joke,” before saying:
We have to win an election, and we should win it by a lot because there’s never been anybody worse at doing that job than Joe Biden. So we’re not gonna take time to celebrate, we’ll celebrate in eight months when the election is over. November 5th I believe will go down as the most important day in the history of our country, so start thinking about it, start thinking about your vote because this vote is going to be the most important vote you’ve ever cast, and again, for this evening and for last week and for all the weeks before for the tremendous success we’ve had in this primary, I wanna thank everybody.
“But much more importantly, we have to get to work to beat Joe Biden, the worst administration, the worst president in the history of our country,” he concluded. “They are destroying our country and we’re not going to let that happen.”
Trump surpassed the 1,215 delegates necessary to become the Republican Party’s nominee for president on Tuesday, reaching a total of 1,228 delegates.
Biden, meanwhile, surpassed the 1,968 delegates he needed to become the Democratic Party nominee, officially putting Trump and Biden on track for a rematch in 2024.
