Donald Trump and Indiana's Mike Pence WIN presidential race. The result was a stinging rebuke to Hillary Clinton, who was vying to make history as the nation’s first female president. Brian Eason November 9, 2016 The New York real estate mogul and his running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, have secured enough states to clinch an Electoral College victory over Hillary Clinton, AP reports. Trump’s victory caps a presidential campaign that was as unpredictable — and as bitterly divisive — as any in modern American history. From the moment he entered the Republican presidential primaries, Trump shrugged off critics and doubters to win contest after contest, even when pollsters and members of his own party expected him to fail. With the win, Republicans will control both chambers of Congress and the presidency for the first time since the George W. Bush era. The loss was a stinging rebuke to Clinton, who was vying to make history as the nation’s first female president. A former secretary of state, senator and first lady, Clinton was long seen as the favorite in the race, even as she was dogged by transparency questions over her use of a private email server while she served as secretary of state. Just when she appeared to have solidified her position in swing states after a wave of Trump controversies with just a week until the election, a letter to Congress from FBI Director James Comey thrust Clinton’s emails back into the national spotlight, sowing new doubt among skeptical voters. Pence, meanwhile, will become the first Hoosier vice president since Dan Quayle served under President George H.W. Bush from 1989 to 1992. His running mate was propelled to victory largely by a strong showing on Pence’s home turf: the Midwest. Trump wildly outperformed both Mitt Romney and John McCain in the region, picking up key victories in battleground states such as Ohio. Trump’s win represents both a repudiation of the status quo, and an endorsement of a nationalist brand of populism that has swept through Europe in recent years. Trump has advocated for ripping up trade agreements in order to spur economic growth, closing the border to Muslims and Syrian refugees, and building a wall to keep out Hispanics, while deporting those who have immigrated here illegally in the past. His campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again,” was both a rebuke of establishment politics, and a nostalgia for an unspecified America of old. Markets shuddered as his election became increasingly likely — investors fearing the unknown. But in an era of stagnant wages, rising health care costs and security threats at home and abroad, voters were willing to take a risk on the unpredictable. |
