Kathmandu, November 9
Republican candidate Donald J Trump, who was trailing in polls ahead of the US presidential election on Tuesday, has pulled out quite a few surprises, as America and the world waited anxiously for the closely-contest race to conclude.
Trump, touted as the ‘underdog’ won in key battle ground states such as Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin to be elected 45th President of the United States of America, and the ‘most powerful man’ in the world.
Clinton, meanwhile, won in California and Virginia, but that was not enough to stop Trump.
Taking the stage to cheers, Trump said Clinton had called him to offer her congratulations and to concede the race.
“Now it’s time for America to bind the wounds of division and get together,” he told supporters in New York City. “It is time for us to come together as one united people. I pledge to very citizen of our land that I will be president for all Americans.”
