Washington: Manhattan billionaire Donald Trump on Wednesday was elected the US President. The Republican, a real estate magnate, is set to become the 45th President of the US.
The Republican took the key swing states of Florida, North Carolina and Ohio early this morning, as he marched towards the White House.
In an extraordinary development, Clinton did not concede the election, despite several news networks calling it for Trump. Her campaign said it was “too close to call”.
The Republican nominee won Wednesday after capturing Wisconsin’s 10 electoral votes, putting him over the 270 threshold. Voters eager to shake up the nation’s political establishment picked the celebrity businessman to become the nation’s 45th president.
Trump rode an astonishing wave of support from voters seeking change and willing to accept a candidate loose with facts and accused of sexual misconduct. He upset Democrat Hillary Clinton, who would have become the first woman to serve in the Oval Office.
