Unic Press UK: Donald Trump, an American billionaire is on the verge to be elected the 45th President of the United States of America, despite being viewed by many as a maverick who ran a surreal presidential campaign that aggressively challenged the establishment.
Trump has defeated his closest rival, Democratic Party candidate Hillary Clinton, in many of the key battleground states, including Florida [29 electoral votes], Ohio [18 electoral votes], Iowa [6 electoral votes], and North Carolina [15 electoral votes].
In other battleground states, Hillary took Colorado [9 electoral votes], Nevada [6 electoral votes], Virginia [13 electoral votes].
As of this moment, Trump has gathered 254 electoral college votes against Clinton’s 218. It is believed that a win in Pennsylvania, where 20 electoral votes is available, would mean victory for the Republican Party candidate Donald Trump.
The results for other battleground states, viz, Wisconsin, Michigan, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, are being collated.
