Donald Trump is the elected president of the United States
After a long election night, the Republican candidate Donald Trump has managed to outwit the odds, early Wednesday morning, being elected president of the United States, according to the statements of the Washington Post and the Associated Press.
Just elected president of the United States, he said on Wednesday during his victory speech that he will be “the president of all Americans,” after a particularly acrimonious campaign that opposed Hillary Clinton.
“I just got a call from Secretary of State Clinton. She welcomed us, “he said claiming that the US was” indebted “to Clinton for his services.
The president of the Clinton campaign announced that the candidate around 2 does not address himself to the crowd during the night. John Podesta, the one by whom the offense of hacked emails by Wikileaks happened, said there was still a lot of votes to count, even though mathematically, it proved almost impossible for Clinton to regain the initiative.
Total victory
Republicans won Senate on Wednesday and so continue to monitor the entire United States Congress, providing a parliamentary majority on which the president-elect Donald Trump will rely, according to several media.
By controlling the White House and the legislature, the Republicans have the ability to undo the reforms of President Barack Obama, including his controversial reform Medicare dubbed “Obamacare”.
The control of the Senate, which is added to that of the House of Representatives, they will also have the upper hand in the process of appointing most senior government officials and judges of the Supreme Court.
The upper house of Congress, which was renewed on Tuesday in a third (34 members), had fallen into the Republican camp in 2014, greatly restricting the flexibility of President Obama.
Recently, Republican senators blocked and the confirmation process of a judge of the Supreme Court appointed by Barack Obama after the death of one of its nine members.
The new balance of power in the Senate was not known immediately. So far, Republicans held 54 seats and the Democrats 46.
