Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton calls Republican candidate Donald Trump, to concede the election and to congratulate him on his victory.

“This team has so much to be proud of. Whatever happens tonight, thank you for everything,” Clinton tweeted as uncertainty cast over her eventual victory among her supporters.
Trump has won in several crucial battleground states, including Florida and North Carolina, Ohio, Pennysylvania giving the Republican nominee a path to victory. He is also in the lead in democratic strongholds of Michigan.
