If you take a look at national numbers, you will see a map of the United States lit up mostly red, including some key states like Pennsylvania, which has 20 electoral votes.
Republicans won both the Senate and the House in this election, not quite by a landslide, but enough to secure leadership in the legislative branch.
In Pa., Trump finished with a solid 49% of the votes, over 2.9 mil. Clinton finished closed with 48%, over 2.8 mil.
Trump lead in almost all counties in the WTAJ viewing area (Bedford, Blair, Cambria, Cameron, Clearfield, Elk, Fulton, Huntingdon, Indiana, Jefferson, Somerset), securing votes from 5,000 to 25,000.
Clinton could not break 1,000 votes in Fulton County, but she did see a win in Centre County. She won by a slim margin, the vote coming down to a 1,456 vote difference.
Overall, in the viewing area, around 150,000 more votes were cast for trump.
“I thought it ended up with the right person taking the Presidential seat, and that’s Trump,” said voter Milton Patton of Blair County. “Donald Trump. That’s the best person for the job.”
“Usually with a Democratic governor we go Democrat, and I was so happy last night we went Republican,” said voter Joy Shultz. “It was really a relief to see that we had gone Republican after all these years.”
The last time Pennsylvania went Republican was in 1988.
According to the election map on Politico, all counties have reported with the exception of Delaware and Philadelphia Counties, which are listed as “Partially Reporting” as of 4 p.m. Wednesday.
