Donald Trump is the new US President-elect and his admirers are over the moon. The politician is scheduled to take office as the 47th president on January 20, 2025. After winning the election on November 7, Trump kept a low profile and was mostly engaged in absorbing his new feat. Here’s a quick look at how the Republican Party leader spent his first day post-win, as per Associated Press.

Calls from defeated opponents and world leaders

Soon after the big win, the 78-year-old’s phone started ringing from across the world. Vice President Kamala Harris, his competitor who put up a tough fight, was among the first few to call Donald Trump and congratulate him on his re-election. President Joe Biden also wished him luck for his transition to the presidency.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to Donald Trump and congratulated him on his ‘spectacular’ victory and spoke about strengthening India-US relations across technology, defence, energy, space and other sectors. The source said that because Trump considers Modi and India as a true friend, he made sure he was one of the first world leaders he spoke to after his victory.

In an X note, PM Modi expressed, "Had a great conversation with my friend, President Donald Trump, congratulating him on his spectacular victory. Looking forward to working closely together once again to further strengthen India-US relations across technology, defence, energy, space and several other sectors."

Other than this, Trump also spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, Ukrainian President Zelensky,? French President Macron, and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Victory speech to start an era of his own

Donald Trump soon after claiming victory gave his victory speech in West Palm Beach, Florida that went viral like wildfire. In a long speech that had the world’s eyes, the politician called for unity in America, hailed the Senate win, promised to fight for the country till his last breath, spoke about creating history and exclaimed - ‘a star is born… Elon Musk’.

Heard the words from the opposition

AP reported that Joe Biden’s associates called on the team of Donald Trump to ‘execute’ the needed agreements that would make the formal transition begin as anticipated by the federal statute. Failure to comply with these contracts can delay the processes of security clearance for Donald Trump’s future regime which may also limit access to sensitive information from the government.

Joe Biden’s remarks focusing on coming together of the Democrats and the Republicans provided a backbone for Donald Trump’s assurance of a peaceful handover, and vice-presidential candidate Kamala Harris received great applause for her campaign. Donald Trump before Kamala Harris's phone call praised her professionalism and determination, both arguing that they would work together to unite America.
