A party atmosphere has begun at Mar-a-Lago as the results of the presidential election continue to indicate that Donald Trump can retake the White House.
As the former president won a wave of states early Tuesday night and appeared set to retake several swing states he lost to Joe Biden in 2020, Trump’s camp said it was “confident” of victory.
Footage from the event showed a relaxed Trump chatting with Elon Musk and Dana White, while guests shared a series of smiling selfies from the Mar-a-Lago ballroom.
But while the Trump camp appears to be in high spirits, Kamala Harris’ election night party reportedly fell “silent” when the results came in around midnight.

At the Mar-a-Lago election night party, several Trump allies and Republican Party influencers witnessed the results, and Musk also brought one of his eleven children to the event.

Trump’s initial dominance in Tuesday night’s presidential race was cemented shortly before midnight, when he was projected as the winner of the first swing state, North Carolina.
With results in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan also showing Trump with leads through the end of the night, Trump’s camp seemed confident.
In fact, Musk was so confident that he declared Trump’s victory in X, tweeting “game, set, match” with six of the seven swing states still counting.
And supporters who couldn’t be invited to Trump’s election night viewing party set off fireworks and waved flags outside his Florida property in anticipation of a possible victory.

But while Republicans felt poised for victory, CNN anchor Abby Phillip reported before 11 p.m. that Kamala Harris’ party felt the race was slipping away.
“I think the key word is silence,” Phillips reported. “Not much is said, because Harris’ team seems to be looking for bright spots on the map, as these results come very, very slowly.”
As results continued to roll in late Tuesday night, Harris’ camp admitted that the “blue wall” of states like 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 in coming “we’ll see you tomorrow.”
