Unic Press UK: Donald Trump, the candidate of the U.S. Republican Party is the winner of the 2016 presidential election. He would be sworn in as the 45th President of the United States of America.
Trump’s campaign was remarkable in the sense that he confronted the U.S. political establishment and the mainstream media. His closet rival, Hillary Clinton, had tremendous support from a wider section of the international community, including countries.
Trump has defeated his closest rival, Hillary Clinton, in many of the key battleground states, including Florida [29 electoral votes], Ohio [18 electoral votes], Arizona [11 electoral votes], Iowa [6 electoral votes], Pennsylvania [20 electoral votes], Wisconsin [10 electoral votes], North Carolina [15 electoral votes] and Michigan [16 electoral votes]
In other battleground states, Hillary took Colorado [9 electoral votes], Nevada [6 electoral votes], Virginia [13 electoral votes], Minnesota [10 electoral votes].
Trump has won 306 electoral votes, which is 36 electoral votes beyond the number that a candidate must score to win the U.S. 2016 presidential election. Hillary got only 232 electoral votes.
