White America Speaks: Donald Trump Elected 45th President
Donald John Trump
was elected the 45th president of the United States on Tues- day, in the most stunning and polarized campaign in recent history.
America woke up Wednes- day to a new and unexpected reality —Trump will be the next president of the United States.
The surprise outcome, defy- ing late polls that showed Hillary Clinton with a mod- est, but persistent edge, threatened convulsions throughout the country and the world, where skeptics had
Donald Trump and Mike Pence
watched with alarm as Mr. Trump’s unvarnished over- tures to disillusioned voters took hold.
Trump, in an upset for the
ages, defeated former Secre- tary of State Hillary Rod- ham Clinton by running the table in battleground states across the country — from Florida and North Carolina to Ohio and Pennsylvania.
The triumph for Mr. Trump, 70, a real estate de- veloper-turned-reality televi- sion star with no government experience, was a powerful re- jection of the establishment forces that had assembled against him, from the world of business to government, and the consensus they had forged on everything from trade to immigration.
Trump's bitter Republican rival, Jeb Bush, also congrat- ulated him — via Twitter — and said he and his wife Columba "will pray for you in the days and months to come."
Trump, triumphed across the South, Plains and the Rust Belt, where the Republican
candidate's mix of economic populism and freewheeling bravado resonated with mil- lions of white working-class voters alienated by globaliza- tion and cultural change.
President Barack Obama, who campaigned fu- riously for Clinton, congrat- ulated Trump by telephone early Wednesday and invited him to a meeting at the White House on Thursday.
Still, it is likely to be an awkward face-to-face conver- sation — Trump was behind the so-called birther cam- paign designed to discredit President Obama by ques- tioning whether he was born intheU.S.
President Obama also called Hillary Clinton. The
White House says Obama conveyed admiration for the "strong campaign she waged throughout the country." Hillsborough County Votes For Hillary,
However The Rest Of Florida Chooses Trump
If Hillsborough County vot- ers had their Election Day wish come true, Democrat Hillary Clinton would have stood on a stage in New York City early Wednesday morn- ing announcing victory. The county’s tip toward the former secretary of state was not enough though to give her an edge in the Sunshine State let alone much of the country.
Hillsborough County had a total of 595,072 of its 853,144 voters cast ballots in the Nov. 8 general election, according to the county's supervisor of elections office. With 337,172 registered Democrats, 268,622 registered Republi- cans and 247,350 “others,” the county came out in favor of Clinton.
According to the unofficial results reported by the Hills- borough County Supervisor of Elections Office, the break- down was as follows:
Clinton – 306,422 votes, or 51.49 percent
Trump – 265,928 votes, or 44.69 percent
Gary Johnson – 15,598 votes, or 2.62 percent
Counties surrounding Hillsborough went mostly red in Tuesday’s election. In Pasco County, for example, Trump took 58.43 percent of the vote to Clinton’s 37.04 percent. Trump also won Pinellas County. In that case, the race was closer with Trump’s 48.06 percent just topping Clinton’s 46.97 percent.
