Trump spent election night at the White House, surrounded by Fox News personalities


President Trump spent election night at the White House, where about 150 guests gathered in the East Room to watch as the results came in.
Trump's adult children were in attendance, in addition to several Fox News personalities, contributors, and frequent guests, including Laura Ingraham, Jeannine Pirro, Newt Gingrich, and Diamond and Silk. Just one person at the party appeared to be wearing a mask, NBC News reports: Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar.
Trump delivered an address to the crowd that was riddled with false claims, including that he has won the election. There are still votes to be counted across the United States, with the winner unknown at this time.
