Donald Trump elected president of the United States

Donald Trump moved within reach of the White House Tuesday night, capturing crucial victories over Hillary Clinton in Florida, Ohio and North Carolina, a remarkable show of strength by the celebrity businessman and political novice who upended American politics with his brash rhetoric and calls for sweeping change.

In the Rose Garden Wednesday, Obama said he had significant differences with Trump, as he had with George W. Bush upon taking office eight years ago.

MI and Wisconsin, two Midwestern powerhouses that have not voted for a Republican presidential candidate since the 1980s, took on unexpected importance.

Donald says he wants to be a president for “all Americans” – seems he better learn how to calm the anger of those who never wanted to see him in the White House.

“We have to remember that we’re all actually on one team”, Obama said.

“Our constitutional democracy enshrines the peaceful transfer of power, and we don’t just respect that, we cherish it”.

“I think it is too early to tell what decisions Trump will make and what impact they will have in the priorities that President Obama has so proudly achieved”, Earnest said. He’ll govern with a Republican-controlled Congress and lead a country deeply divided by his rancorous campaign against Clinton. But the former senator and secretary of state struggled to articulate a clear rationale for her own candidacy.

Hillary Clinton has conceded defeat in an emotional speech in NY – urging her supporters to not give up hope, and to strive to uphold American values. “We are now all rooting for his success in uniting and leading the country”.

Standing before a crowd of crestfallen campaign aides and backers, Clinton said, “This is painful and it will be for a long time”.

“He scares the daylights out of me”, said Wendy Bennett, a Democrat and government worker from Reno, Nevada, who cast her ballot for Clinton. The remarks were striking after a campaign in which the Democrats declared Trump was unfit to serve and told voters the future of democracy was riding on their choice. But I wouldn’t be honest if I pretended, at this point, to be hopeful.

Cranston may not have been “Breaking Bad” when he said during The Bestseller Experiment podcast that he is headed to Vancouver if Trump wins. This approach has now left much of his agenda vulnerable, and in many cases exacerbates the country’s political divide. They are analyses of data and polling, actions by the two campaigns, and a greater understanding of the mood in America, the way the race was covered, and how people reacted. On our victory, and I congratulated her and her family on a very, very hard-fought campaign. To be black, Hispanic, Asian-American, Muslim or an immigrant today is to feel oneself potentially a target of white grievance and rage. It is hard, and sometimes contentious and noisy.

Obama decried cynicism, especially for those upset with the outcome. But their somber faces weren’t reflected in Obama’s message of unity going forward. “We lick our wounds”.

The 45th US President will be inaugurated in January 2017.

“We are going to rebuild our infrastructure to get people back to work”.

Together, those factors drove a yearning to return to a simpler time when America was the world’s undisputed superpower and middle-class wages were on the rise.

Senate Republicans, meanwhile, are likely to hold Trump’s feet to the fire to ensure he lives up to his promise to appoint justices who could ensure a generational conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court.

In a brief statement on Wednesday, the Kremlin said Putin expressed “his hope to work together for removing Russian-American relations from their crisis state”.
