TRUMP TRIUMPHS‘I PromISe YoU I WILL NoT LeT YoU DoWN’

rePUbLICAN WINS FLorIDA, DUvAL

By Julie Pace & robert FurlowAssociated Press

Donald Trump claimed his place Wednesday as America’s 45th president, an astonishing victory for the celebrity businessman and political novice who capitalized on vot-ers’ economic anxieties, took advantage of racial tensions and overcame a string

of sexual assault allegations on his way to the White House.

His triumph over Hillary Clinton, not declared un-til well after midnight, will end eight years of Demo-cratic dominance of the White House and threatens to undo major achievements of President Barack Obama. Trump has pledged to act quickly to repeal Obama’s landmark health care law, revoke America’s nuclear agreement with Iran and rewrite important trade deals with other countries, particularly Mexico and Canada.

As he claimed victory, Trump urged Americans to “come together as one united people” after a deeply divisive campaign.

He said he had spoken by phone with Clinton and they had exchanged congratulations on a hard-fought race. Trump, who spent much of the campaign urging his supporters on as they chanted “lock her up,” said the nation owed her “a major debt of gratitude” for her years of public service.

Trump’s Florida win, without Duval blowout, sinks conventional wisdomBy nate Monroe & Andrew PantaziThe Times-Union

Fueled by a populist broadside from suburban and rural voters, Republican nominee Donald Trump edged out Democrat Hillary Clinton in Florida, de-spite her strong showings in more urban areas like Jacksonville that have historically swayed statewide elections. His victory upends traditional assumptions about how to win elections in the Sunshine State.

In Jacksonville — Florida’s most populous city and a right-leaning battleground — Clinton outper-formed every Democratic presidential candidate since former President Jimmy Carter in 1976. She lost Duval County by about 6,000, according to unofficial and incomplete vote tallies.

It didn’t matter.“It’s probably the biggest upset since Truman in

1948. Just no one expected it,” said Matthew Corri-gan, a University of North Florida political science
