And now I’d like to take this moment to thank some of the people who really helped me with this, what they are calling tonight, very, very historic victory.

My brother Robert. And they should all be on this stage, but that’s OK. They’re great. And also my late brother, Fred. Great guy. Fantastic guy.
(Applause.)
Fantastic family. I was very lucky. Great brothers, sisters; great, unbelievable parents.
To Melania and Don…
(Applause.) …and Ivanka…
(Applause.)
… and Eric and Tiffany and Baron, I love you and I thank you, and especially for putting up with all of those hours. This was tough.
(Applause.)
This was tough. This political stuff is nasty and it’s tough. So I want to thank my family very much. Really fantastic. Thank you all. Thank you all.
And Lara, unbelievable job, unbelievable.
Vanessa, thank you. Thank you very much.
What a great group! You’ve all given me such incredible support, and I will tell you that we have a large group of people. You know, they kept saying we have a small staff. Not so small. Look at all the people that we have. Look at all of these people.
And Kellyanne and Chris and Rudy and Steve and David. We have got – we have got tremendously talented people up here. And I want to tell you, it’s been – it’s been very, very special. I want to give a very special thanks to our former mayor, Rudy Giuliani.
(Applause.)
Unbelievable. Unbelievable. He traveled with us and he went through meetings. That Rudy never changes. Where’s Rudy? Where is he? Rudy.
Governor Chris Christie, folks, was unbelievable.
(Applause.)
Thank you, Chris.
The first man, first Senator, first major, major politician, and let me tell you, he is highly respected in Washington because he’s as smart as you get: Senator Jeff Sessions. Where is Jeff?
(Applause.)
Great man.
Another great man, very tough competitor. He was not easy. He was not easy. Who is that? Is that the mayor that showed up?
(Laughter.)
Is that Rudy? Oh, Rudy got up here.
Another great man who has been really a friend to me. But I’ll tell you, I got to know him as a competitor because he was one of the folks that was negotiating to go against those Democrats: Dr. Ben Carson. Where is Ben?
(Applause.)
Where is Ben?
And by the way, Mike Huckabee is here someplace, and he is fantastic. Mike and his family, Sarah – thank you very much.
General Mike Flynn. Where is Mike?
(Applause.)
And General Kellogg. We have over 200 generals and admirals that have endorsed our campaign. And they’re special people and it’s really an honor. We have 22 Congressional Medal of Honor recipients. We have just tremendous people.
A very special person who believed me and, you know, I’d read reports that I wasn’t getting along with him. I never had a bad second with him. He’s an unbelievable star. He is…
(Crosstalk.)
That’s right. How did you possibly guess? So let me tell you about Reince, and I’ve said this. I said, Reince – and I know it, I know. Look at all those people over there. I know it. Reince is a superstar. But I said, “They can’t call you a superstar, Reince, unless we win,” because you can’t be called a superstar – like Secretariat – if Secretariat came in second, Secretariat would not have that big, beautiful bronze bust at the track at Belmont.
But I’ll tell you, Reince is really a star. And he is the hardest-working guy. And in a certain way, I did this – Reince, come up here. Where is Reince? Get over here, Reince.
(Applause.)
Boy, oh, boy, oh, boy. It’s about time you did this, Reince. My God.
(Applause.)
Say a few words. No, come on, say something.
RNC Chairman Reince Priebus: Ladies and gentlemen, the next President of the United States, Donald Trump.
(Applause.)
Thank you. It’s been an honor. God bless. Thank God.
Donald J. Trump: Amazing guy.
Our partnership with the RNC was so important to the success and what we’ve done.
So I also have to say I’ve gotten to know some incredible people – the Secret Service people.
(Applause.)
They’re tough and they’re smart and they’re sharp, and I don’t want to mess around with them, I can tell you. And when I want to go and wave to a big group of people and they rip me down and put me back down on the seat. But they are fantastic people, so I want to thank the Secret Service.
(Applause.)
And law enforcement in New York City. They’re here tonight.
(Applause.)
These are spectacular people, sometimes underappreciated unfortunately, but we appreciate them. We know what they go through.
So, it’s been what they call a historic event, but to be really historic, we have to do a great job. And I promise you that I will not let you down. We will do a great job. We will do a great job.
(Applause.)
I look very much forward to being your President, and hopefully at the end of two years or three years or four years, or maybe even eight years…
(Applause.)
…you will say, so many of you worked so hard for us, but you will say that – you will say that that was something that you really were very proud to do and I can. . .
(Crosstalk.)
Thank you very much.
And I can only say that while the campaign is over, our work on this movement is now really just beginning.
(Applause.)
We’re going to get to work immediately for the American people. And we’re going to be doing a job that hopefully you will be so proud of your President. You’ll be so proud. Again, it’s my honor. It was an amazing evening. It’s been an amazing two-year period. And I love this country.
(Applause.)
Thank you. Thank you very much.
(Applause.)
Thank you to Mike Pence. Thank you, everybody.
(Applause.)
