Donald Trump was joined on stage by Bryson DeChambeau at a presidential election party in Florida in a rare celebration, before the 78-year-old was declared the new president of the United States.
Trump defeated Kamala Harris by the 270 seats needed to regain the title he lost in 2020, and the Associated Press projected that he would have won 279 to his rival’s 223 with four results remaining.
On a painful night for Harris and Democrats, one of the key facets of Trump’s victory came from victories in the swing states of North Carolina, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Georgia.
The 78-year-old was clearly in good spirits Wednesday morning in Florida as he addressed his fans, relishing the moment he appears set to take back the White House, and was joined on stage by two tall figures. profile of the world of music. sport in DeChambeau and UFC president Dana White.
White, president and CEO of the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship), has openly supported Trump and described the 78-year-old as “the hardest working man I’ve ever met,” before bizarrely giving what appeared to be his own victory speech. .

In a rare victory speech, which came before the result was declared, Trump was joined on stage by Dana White and Bryson DeChambeau.
DeChambeau was also called to the stage (pictured wearing a black cap) and awkwardly greeted Trump.
But that wasn’t the only strange collaboration between sports and politics of the night, as Trump also invited DeChambeau, one of the world’s leading golfers of his generation, to the stage, stating that he “has a great career going.”
Trump also joked that the 31-year-old can hit a golf ball “a little longer” than he can, although The Scientist, as DeChambeau is also known, was a little late to the scene.
DeChambeau twice won the US Open, one of the sport’s four majors, and finished second in the PGA Championship.
‘Today we have here the US Open champion, Bryson DeChambeau, fantastic.
‘Obviously he hits the ball a little longer than me! Just a little bit. Bryson DeChambeau is up here. Where is? What happened to Bryson?
Then, strangely, Trump starts saying the golfer’s name: ‘Bryson? Oh, he was shy! Is he hitting balls?
And he added: ‘Is it on its way? Bryson. Oh, look at it. He has a great career going. US Grand Open, Bryson. It’s a fantastic job.
DeChambeau finally arrived, before taking the stage, awkwardly waving at Trump.
DeChambeau won the US Open twice and finished runner-up in the PGA Championship.
White released what appeared to be his own victory speech where he named several streamers and Joe Rogan.
Trump was quick to bring up his former supporter White, the UFC president of MMA.
The 78-year-old has a well-documented history in golf and in 2016 was thought to own up to 17 golf courses through his holding company.
White, however, was invited to say a few words at the stage podium and, after some enthusiastic praise for Trump, launched into what appeared to be his own victory speech.
“No one deserves this more than him, and no one deserves this more than his family,” White began, perhaps expectedly.
‘This is what happens when the machine chases you. What you’ve seen in recent years, this is what it looks like.
‘He keeps going, he doesn’t give up. He is the most resilient and hardworking man I have ever met. His family are incredible people. This is karma, ladies and gentlemen. He deserves it, they as a family deserve it.”
But he soon began listing names, similar to what you might expect in an Oscar acceptance speech, naming several streamers.
‘I want to thank a few people very quickly. I want to thank the guys at Nelk, Adin Ross, Theo Von (all streamers). And the mighty powerful Joe Rogan. Thank you America, have a good night.”
