She congratulated us \u2014<br \/>\nit&#8217;s about us \u2014 on our victory, and I congratulated her and her family on<br \/>\na very, very hard-fought campaign,&#8221; Trump said in his victory speech.<\/p>\n<p>Gone was Trump&#8217;s refrain, which he repeated at just about every juncture,<br \/>\nabout &#8220;crooked Hillary&#8221; and what he called her unprecedented corruption.<\/p>\n<p>And apparently gone was his oft-repeated rhetoric about the election&#8217;s<br \/>\nbeing &#8220;rigged.&#8221; &#8220;Hillary has worked very long and very hard over a long<br \/>\nperiod of time, and we owe her a major debt of gratitude,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>His support ran not only through the expected battleground states \u2014 such<br \/>\nas Florida, North Carolina, Iowa and Ohio \u2014 but also through traditionally<br \/>\nblue states as well, like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. And his victory came<br \/>\nas the GOP was projected to retaine control of the House and Senate.<\/p>\n<p>What appeared to be a narrow path for Trump to win the Electoral College,<br \/>\nassuming Democratic strongholds held, grew wider as Trump took state after<br \/>\nstate. And his lead in the popular vote, 48 to 47 percent, with 89 percent<br \/>\nof the expected vote reporting, never waned.<\/p>\n<p>With 89 percent of the expected vote in, more than 120 million ballots had<br \/>\nbeen cast. Trump led the popular vote by more than 1 million votes and led<br \/>\nthe electoral vote 278 to 218.<\/p>\n<p>The Clinton campaign initially said the race was too close to call, with<br \/>\ncampaign chairman John Podesta telling supporters at the Javits Center who<br \/>\nhad gathered for a victory party to go home, saying that every vote should<br \/>\nbe counted.<\/p>\n<p>But Clinton later called Trump to concede, Trump said.<\/p>\n<p>Exit polls provided a number of insights into the hard-fought and historic<br \/>\ncontest and exposed the deep divisions in the country. The candidates, who<br \/>\nwere widely viewed as unpopular, exposed these divisions in their<br \/>\ncandidacies.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump stunned America and the world Wednesday, riding a wave of populist resentment to defeat Hillary Clinton in the race to become the 45th president of the United States.&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":54362,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-54361","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
