US Elections Results: Change of plans for America

In fact, FivethirtyEight’s Editor-in-Chief, Nate Silver tweeted, “This doesn’t seem like an election in which one candidate had a 99% chance of winning tbh.” Trump, after having won North Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, has surprisingly won two major key battleground states – Ohio and Florida. CNN’s Wolf Blizter remarked, “Donald Trump is doing remarkably well!”

Here’s social media buzz from the States:

The Democrats’ safe state Michigan becomes a battleground. All eyes are on Michigan:

OK, change of plans: We’re designating Michigan as “too close to call”, resetting odds to 50/50 there. Clinton EC odds way down as a result.

It’s like an entire election is the Michigan Democratic primary

All eyes increasingly on Michigan. No early vote there & Clinton camp scrambled in the end to get her & Obama into the state.

As friend just noted, the last 16 years have seen enormous increase in the power of executive. Trump would be a very powerful president.

Lesson? Never ever underestimate angry white people in America. Especially quasi racist ones. #ElectionNight

While the campaign has been nerve-racking and unpredictable, the polls predict that Trump might just be the next President of the United States.

President Obama sent out a special message to the citizens today (which appeared to be more of a condolence), saying, “And remember, no matter what happens, the sun will rise in the morning and America will still be the greatest nation on Earth.”

If Trump wins — God bless America for it will need it. And, God bless Mexico.
