In a surprising upset, Donald Trump [1] beat Hillary Clinton to become the presumptive president of the United States. Major media outlets including The New York Times called the election for Trump [2] close to midnight West Coast time on Tuesday.

Trump took key states including Florida, Michigan, and Ohio for a total of 276 electoral votes versus Clinton's 219 votes.

Clinton reportedly conceded to Trump [3] in a phone call shortly before news broke. Trump first announced his candidacy in June 2015.
