BREAKING: Hillary Clinton calls Trump, concedes defeat

Democratic Party’s Hillary Clinton has
telephoned her Republican Party rival,
Donald Trump, conceding defeat and
congratulating him for winning the election,
the CNN is reporting.
“She has called him to say she believed he
(Trump) will emerge president,” a CNN
anchor said a while ago.
Mr. Trump already garnered 268 electoral
votes to Mrs. Clinton’s 215.
He is also projected to win Pennsylvania,
which has 20 electoral votes.
The New York Times already projects that
the controversial businessman would win the
election and become the next American
president.

Against all expectations and permutations,
businessman Donald Trump has won U.S.
presidential election and would become the
45th president of the United States of
America.
Mr. Trump won 288 electoral votes, 73 more
than her Democratic Party’s challenger,
Hillary Clinton, who garnered 215 electoral
votes.
Mrs. Clinton has telephoned Mr. Trump,
conceding defeat and congratulating him for
winning the election.
She also thanked her supporters for
believing and standing by her.
Mr. Trump, a real estate developer who has
never held any appointive or elective
political office, announced his decision to
seek the presidential ticket of the Republican
Party in June 2015.
He was dismissed by established politicians
of his party and the Democratic Party as a
non-starter partly because of the unorthodox
and insulting comments he made about
Mexicans, Muslims and other minorities.
But Mr. Trump defeated 16 other candidates
to win the Republican nomination. His
campaign was marred by scandals and
conflicts, many emanating from his conduct
and utterances.
His campaign organization was tattered and
uncoordinated. He changed campaign
managers three times and, unlike typical
presidential candidates, did not open local
campaign offices in most of the states in the
country.
His opponent, Democratic Party’s Hillary Clinton, ran a near
perfect campaign and was widely predicted to win by all
polls.
She not only failed to win the Republican States where the
polls predicted she had an edge, she also lost traditional
Democrat voting states like Michigan and Wisconsin.
Mr. Trump won all the so-called battleground states
including – Ohio and North Carolina which Mrs. Clinton was
favoured to win.
Mr. Trump’s victory represents a huge shift in American
politics because of his stand on immigration, foreign policy
and minority rights.
Mr. Ryan has now congratulated the controversial
businessman.
