Republican Donald Trump has won the United States presidential election, defeating Democrat Hillary Clinton, in what many view as a surprise victory in the White House race. Republican Trump took charge of major states of Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania as he infiltrated the states believed to be secured by Democrats. Many had predicted a win for Hillary Clinton, but that wasn’t to be, as Trump had already struck a wide margin hours before he hit the 270 electoral college votes mark.
He stressed the importance of unity and working together in his speech “Working together, we will begin the urgent task of rebuilding our nation and renewing the American dream. For those of you who have chosen not to support me in the past, of which there were a few people, I am reaching out to you for your guidance and help so we can together and unify our great country,” said Donald Trump, “The forgotten men of our country will be forgotten no more.” Shortly before President-elect Donald Trump took to the stage to give his speech, his Democrat rival Hillary Clinton called him to concede defeat. “I’ve just received a call from Secretary Clinton,” he said, “She congratulated us-this is about us-on our victory, and I congratulated her and her family on a very, very hard-fought campaign. She fought very hard.”

Vice President-elect Mike Pence said he was humbled by the unfolding events, “America has elected a new president and its almost hard for me to express the honor that I and my family feel, that we will have the privilege to serve you as Vice President,” said Mike Pence.
