29 states where Donald Trump won the election
Tonight, Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton are facing off for the presidency. It’s been one of the most emotionally challenging and politically divisive elections in recent memory, and we’re anxiously awaiting the outcome. In the meantime, we’re tracking states where Trump has won the election (and keeping an eye on Clinton, too).
To win the presidency, a candidate must lock in 270 Electoral College votes (click here for a refresher on how that system works). It’s going to be a long night, but we’ll be updating this post as the results come in, so keep an on the electoral vote tally at the bottom of this post to find out who’s close — and who’s closer.
