A party atmosphere has kicked off at Mar-a-Lago as results from the presidential election continue to indicate Donald Trump may recapture the White House.
The former president won a wave of states early Tuesday night and looked set to retake several swing states he lost to Joe Biden in 2020, with Trump’s camp saying they were ‘confident’ of victory.
Images from the event showed a relaxed Trump chatting it up with Elon Musk and Dana White, while guests shared a number of smiling selfies from Mar-a-Lago’s ballroom.
The Mar-a-Lago election night party saw a number of Trump allies and GOP influencers to watch the results pour in, with Musk also bringing one of his eleven children to the event.
Former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville and Trump’s attorney Alina Habba have all shared smiling pictures from the party.
Trump’s early dominance in the presidential race on Tuesday evening was cemented shortly before midnight when he was projected as the winner of the first swing state, North Carolina.
When it was announced that Trump had clinched North Carolina, the Harris campaign reportedly turned the sound of TVs at her watch party, as attendees admitted it ‘felt more like 2016 than 2020.’
Despite six other swing states still counting around midnight, Musk was so confident that he proclaimed early victory for Trump on X, tweeting ‘game, set and match’ while results still hung in the balance.
And supporters who couldn’t swing an invite to Trump’s election night watch party set of fireworks and waved flags outside his Florida estate in anticipation of a possible victory.
But while the Republicans felt primed for victory, CNN anchor Abby Phillip reported before 11pm that Kamala Harris’ party was feeling the race slip away.
‘I think the operative word is silence,’ Phillips reported. ‘There’s not a lot being said, because the Harris team appears to be searching for bright spots in the map, as these results very very, very slowly come in.’
With results still pouring in late Tuesday evening, Harris’ camp admitted the ‘blue wall’ of states including Pennsylvania and Michigan would be vital to any victory.
Harris’ campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon reportedly sent a memo to staff assuring them that they still had a path to victory, and that with the margins so small and so slow to come in ‘we’ll see you tomorrow.’
The crowd at Harris’ watch party significantly thinned out as supporters appeared to lose confidence in a historic win.
