Donald Trump is officially president-elect of the United States. Mr Trump is set to become the 45th president of the United States.

Two Electors from the state of Texas voted against Trump, but in the end he had more than you needed. Electra college voters have been inundated with emails, phone calls and letters not to vote for Trump. Protesters had urged electors to “vote your conscience”.

Hillary Clinton won more than 230 votes, despite the fact of winning the popular vote by more than 3 million votes, this means Trump is the worst-performing winner in the popular vote since 1876.

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell received three votes.
