The outlet reported that Pollatschek also addressed a feeling of anxiety while watching the election results live.

She wrote: “Half past five is also a perfectly appropriate time to feel helpless, to feel sorry for yourself, to panic, and to feel pure horror.

‘Curiosity is at its lowest early in the morning. The problem, of course, is that the Donald Trump story has been exhausted since 2016.’

Automakers in the European nation, including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Volkswagen, saw their stock prices fall after Trump won the election.

The drop came amid fears it will impose high tariffs on the industry. It has imposed higher tariffs on foreign vehicles to protect American jobs.

Congratulating Trump on his victory, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said: “For many decades, Germany and the United States have been working side by side to promote prosperity and freedom on both sides of the Atlantic.

“Together with you I want to continue this successful work for the benefit of our citizens.”

Trump is the first president in more than 130 years, and just the second in history, to win a second non-consecutive term.

The race initially appeared close as Americans went to the polls on Tuesday after months of tension.

Democrats were counting on keeping the three states (Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania) to give Harris the White House. Biden won them in 2020.

But in the end Harris did not improve on President Joe Biden’s performance against Trump four years ago.

Democrats were counting on keeping the three states (Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania) to give Harris the White House. Biden won them in 2020.

But Trump won them, giving him 292 electoral votes to Harris’ 224. It takes 270 to win the presidency.

Harris is now on track to do worse than Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election.

He might even be on track for the worst Electoral College result of any Democrat since the 1988 race.

Exit polls show his victory came after he made gains in nearly every electoral bloc he lost in the 2020 election and built a coalition of multi-ethnic working-class voters.

And Harris fared worse Tuesday than Biden in the 2020 race among key voter groups, including women, the working class and Latinos.

Addressing dozens of tearful supporters who had gathered at his alma mater, Howard University, in Washington, DC, he said, “this is not what we wanted.”

He vowed to help with the peaceful transfer of power even as he said he would continue his battle after Trump’s dominant victory.

As of Wednesday afternoon, the former president had swept five of the seven swing states and was on the verge of surpassing 300 Electoral College votes.

“While I recognize this election, I do not recognize the fight that fueled this campaign,” he said.

His voice shook at times as he addressed a massive crowd of supporters at his alma mater.

Before her speech, Harris called Trump congratulating him and urging him for a peaceful transfer of power and encouraging him to be a president for all Americans.

Then President Joe Biden called Trump and invited him to the White House just as they called Michigan: the fifth swing state to lean in favor of the Republican.
