Republican Donald Trump has won the 2016 presidential
election, in a stunning upset victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton. Trump
built national momentum by winning states including Florida, Ohio and
Pennsylvania in a tighter-than-anticipated race.
Trump also won red states including Texas, Indiana,
Oklahoma, West Virginia, Tennessee and South Carolina, while Democrat Hillary
Clinton won Virginia, Colorado, and blue states including California, Vermont,
Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts and New York, but they weren’t enough to
boost her above Trump.
After millions of Americans cast their ballots on Tuesday to
determine who will be the next U.S. President, Clinton and Trump vied for the
270 electoral votes needed to win the 2016 presidential election. The White
House hopefuls duked it out in 11 potential battleground states—including the
traditional red state of Georgia and the blue state of Michigan. The five most
likely to be swing states were North Carolina, Florida, Ohio, New Hampshire and
Nevada—and so far three of those have gone to Trump.
