Donald Trump has won the election and will be 47th president of the United States after winning the key battleground states of Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Wisconsin and Georgia. “America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate,” the Republican candidate told supporters. “This is a magnificent victory for the American people, that will allow us to make America great again,” he said at the rally in Palm Beach, Florida. It has been total victory, with the Republicans also winning Senate and the popular vote.

Kate Andrews is joined by Sarah Elliott and John R. MacArthur to unpack a historic election night.
