Former President Donald Trump's campaign said Vice President Kamala Harris "congratulated him on his historic victory" in a phone call Wednesday.

"President Trump acknowledged Vice President Harris on her strength, professionalism, and tenacity throughout the campaign, and both leaders agreed on the importance of unifying the country," read the statement by Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung.

Former President Donald Trump thanked his supporters in a fundraising email, promising a "golden age."

Calling his victory "a political victory that our country has never seen before," Trump wrote, "I will fight for you, for your family, and your future. Every single day I will be fighting for you with every breath in my body."

Trump is projected to win the presidential race despite being vastly out-raised by Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign over the last few months and constantly trailing in campaign cash on hand.

As of Oct. 16, the Harris campaign, the DNC and their joint fundraising committees reported having nearly $270 million in cash on hand compared to $202 million for the Trump campaign, the RNC and their joint fundraising committees, most recent filings show.

In an email sent to the Harris campaign staff obtained by ABC News, Harris campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon says: "I’ll leave you with this: losing is unfathomably painful. It is hard. This will take a long time to process. But the work of protecting America from the impacts of a Trump Presidency starts now."

Dillon adds that Harris told Trump that she would work with Biden to ensure a peaceful transfer of power, unlike what happened in 2020. Harris will also hold an all-staff call after her speech to talk about the road ahead.
