Donald Trump won the key swing states of Florida, North Carolina and Ohio early this morning, as he marched towards the White House.
The Republican surpassed expectations and confounded pollsters in Florida, where Hillary Clinton had been expected to win following a surge in the Hispanic vote.
Mrs Clinton’s hopes of a swift victory faded as the Republican picked up a series of states early on and maintained his momentum.
John Podesta, Mrs Clinton’s camapaign manager has said: “She is not done yet.”
“I know you’ve been here a long time,” he said.
“We’re still counting votes, and every vote should count.
“Several states are still close to call, so we’re not going to have anything more to say tonight.
“We are so proud of you, and we are so proud of her. She has done amazing things and she’s not done yet.”
Boos and chants of “lock her up” rang around Mr Trump’s election night event after it was announced Mrs Clinton would not be conceding defeat.
An extraordinary development.
