Former President Donald Trump celebrated Republicans winning control of the Senate while speaking at an address to supporters early Wednesday morning. CNN has projected the GOP will gain control of the Senate in a significant victory for the party.

“America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate. We have taken back control of the Senate — wow that’s good,” he told his supporters.

CNN has not yet called the race for the former president and votes are still being counted across several states.

However, according to CNN projections he only needs four more electoral votes to win the presidency.

“And the Senate races in Montana, Nevada, Texas, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania were all won by the MAGA movement they helped so much,” Trump said.

“The number of victories in the Senate was absolutely incredible,” he added.
