Speechless @realDonaldTrump to be president.
The New York Times and the bookmakers are predicting Republican candidate Trump will win the election - having rated his chances at just 20% when the first polls closed
Hillary Clinton went into election day with a lead in the polls, but confidence in her becoming America's first female President rapidly disappeared as results started coming in.
Trump has won key swing states including Ohio, North Carolina and Florida to move toward the 270 electoral votes needed to claim the White House.
The New York Times began predicting Trump would win the election at around 2.45am - having rated his chances at just 20% when the first polls closed.
