Donald trump wins presidency fox news

On November 9, 2016, Donald Trump was declared the winner of the presidential election, defeating Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. The news was first reported by Fox News, which called the election for Trump at 2:50 a.m. EST.

Fox News was one of the first major news organizations to project Trump as the winner, and its decision desk team, led by John Roberts, made the call based on a combination of exit polls, vote totals, and other data.

The call was met with widespread shock and disbelief, as many had predicted a Clinton victory. Trump's win was seen as a major upset, and it marked a significant shift in the political landscape of the United States.

Fox News's decision to call the election for Trump was not without controversy, however. Some critics accused the network of being biased in favor of Trump and of making the call too quickly, without waiting for all the votes to be counted.

Despite these criticisms, Fox News's call was ultimately vindicated, as Trump went on to win the presidency by a margin of 304 to 227 in the Electoral College.
