HARTFORD -- Donald John Trump will be America’s 45th President. Although Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by about 230,000, Trump soundly beat her in the state-to-state battle for delegates. He won in key states such  Florida, Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania.  Trump may have scored an astonishing upset presidential victory, but Hillary Clinton could still receive more votes.

As of Wednesday afternoon, hours after Clinton called Trump to concede, the former secretary of state clung to a narrow lead in the popular vote, 47.7%-47.5%.

She had 59,626,695 votes, according to CNN's tally, with 92% of the expected vote counted. Trump had 59,428,493. That difference of almost 200,000 is razor-thin considering the nearly 120 million votes counted so far. The totals will continue to change as absentee votes trickle in.

If Clinton hangs on, she would become the first presidential candidate since Al Gore in 2000 to win the popular vote but lose the election. Trump, who clinched the nomination by securing 270 Electoral College votes, currently leads Clinton 289-218, though Michigan, New Hampshire and Minnesota have yet to be called.

It is a verdict that shocked many across the world.

J.R. Romano, CT GOP chairman and Kenneth Kennedy, former Hartford City Councilman discuss Trump’s impressive victory, how he pulled it off – and what we can expect from the President-elect.
