2016 Election Results: Trump vs. Clinton
Donald Trump is the next President of the United States. Whether you voted for him or not, are happy with the outcome or not – last night’s results were a surprise to many people. In a race that kept everyone on the edge of their seats, right down to the last moments – the least expected happened – and we’re ready for the next four years. It’s time to come together, support one another and be that unified country that we all know and love and turn a new leaf, together. Here’s a roundup of last night’s election that kept the whole country in anticipation for hours.
“President-elect Donald Trump gave his victory speech from Trump headquarters in NYC on Wednesday morning. Around 3 a.m. EST, he took the stage and began by thanking Hillary Clinton for her service. He said she had called him to congratulate him and added, “We owe her a major debt of gratitude for her debt to our country.”” (via PopSugar)
“Donald Trump will become the 45th president of the United States, CNN projects, a historic victory for outsiders that represents a stunning repudiation of Washington’s political establishment.
The billionaire real estate magnate and former reality star needed an almost perfect run through the swing states — and he got it, winning Ohio, North Carolina and Florida.
The Republican swept to victory over Hillary Clinton in the ultimate triumph for a campaign that repeatedly shattered the conventions of politics to pull off a remarkable upset. Clinton conceded to Trump in the early hours of Wednesday morning.” (via CNN)

“Hillary Clinton broke with tradition early Wednesday, declining to speak publicly after her election defeat. Her campaign chairman, John Podesta, instead addressed supporters, telling them, “We are not going to say anything more tonight.” Shortly after his address, The Associated Press called the election for Donald Trump. Trump said in his victory speech that Clinton had phoned to congratulate him.” (via Huffington Post)
Such a beautiful and important evening! The forgotten man and woman will never be forgotten again. We will all come together as never before

It was quite a night, one many of us won’t soon forget, but now it’s time to be unified and come together as the supportive and beautiful country we are. Congratulations to Donald Trump – he’s embarking on the challenge of a lifetime. And I have a lot of respect for Hillary Clinton – she put on an amazing campaign. And now it’s time for us to come together as a country and unite in love to heal the wounds that divide us. May God bless America. Are you ready for a new President?
