WHITMAN — State Rep. Geoff Diehl, Donald Trump's state campaign chair, said early Wednesday morning that the real estate mogul's apparent presidential victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton was not as much of a shock as political pundits are claiming.
"Well, anybody who has been tuned into the last 10 years of what's been going on in government nationally knows it's time for a change," Diehl said in a phone conversation. "It's why I've been supporting him through now, and to the end, of this campaign — he's an outsider."
WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump captured crucial victories over Hillary Clinton Tuesday night in Florida, Ohio and North Carolina, showing remarkable strength in three of the nation's most fiercely fought battleground states in an unexpectedly tight race for the presidency.
Clinton carried Nevada, Virginia and Colorado, as well as California, the nation's largest prize. With a handful of other states still undecided as the race lurched past midnight, neither candidate had cleared the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the White House.
