Addressing House Republicans at the Hyatt Regency Capitol Hill, the president-elect kicked off his speech with his signature confidence, stating, “It’s nice to win. It’s always nice to win.”
Trump credited his victory and the Republican Party’s strong performance, saying, “We had historic numbers, especially for the president. The House did very well — we helped secure 31 seats.”

During his speech, Trump reflected on his milestone as the second US president to win non-consecutive terms. “I suspect I won’t be running again unless you say, ‘He’s good, we got to figure out something else,’” he joked before the media was ushered out of the room.
