swamp. one fairly disturbing chant broke out in this room and that was lock her up. they were starting to chant lock her up. that s a chant referring to hillary clinton and her e-mail investigation that the fbi basically said they wrapped up. it is a common thing we hear at political rallies, but covering this campaign for about a year now, going to these rallies and seeing the enthusiasm in these large numbers of crowds you see turning out to see donald trump, during the primaries we saw that translate into success. we may be seeing that here tonight at trump campaign headquarters. you talk to people inside the trump campaign. they re using words like we re dying. we re freaking out. they are just over the moon tonight with these results. i think they ve surprised themselves. earlier today, i heard from an official, a top official, who said it will take a miracle for us to win. i got a text from somebody saying do you believe in miracles. jim acosta over at the new
mind the purple north carolina, he has really boosted the white vote, particularly among white working class voters. north carolina, went for it s really a swing state, went for president obama in 2008, for mitt romney in 2012. donald trump is keeping it red. one thing we re going to also need to look at as we all come and analyze the night, or after it passes, is the effect of the third-party candidates, gary johnson, libertarian, jill stein, evan mcmullin, what role what votes would have gone to hillary clinton or clinton but instead went to them. that was always one of the wild cards that pollsters were talking about. there were so many undecided voters and third-party voters. turns out that might have had a better effect than we thought in addition to the trump effect. let s go to john king. let s get back to michigan and wisconsin. these two states potentially
chance, those numbers are still very much in play. we re talking about wisconsin and michigan. the other interesting point is those are two states that hillary clinton did not win in the democratic primaries. so it appears that not only is donald trump s support strong, but her democratic base didn t entirely come home. if the exit polls have been updated, the democrats were losing half of union households. we ve been talking because we ve been trusting the polls about what s going to happen to the republican party and the blood letting and the in fighting and who is going to lead the republican party and all that. again completely wrong, it s the democratic party that s going to have this fight. take a look, michigan right now, donald trump s lead has just dropped right now. what is it about 25,000 votes, that he s ahead of hillary clinton right now. so, it s narrowing a bit. she could still she could still absolutely
that they came with. it s not over with yet. let s see what happens in the votes. sure. i clearly understand the s sadness that s going on over there. jim acosta, you re at the new york hilton hotel. there s the ballroom behind you. that s where donald trump will be appearing at some point we assume. what s the mood over there? yeah. well, the mood is the exact opposite of what brianna keilar passed on. it is not over yet, but it is starting to feel like a victory party here at trump headquarters. we re seeing a sea of red hats. it s interesting. as these returns are coming in throughout the night, especially in the key battleground states, when that happened, the room exploded. wolf, i will tell you that they started all sorts of chants. usa, usa, president trump, president trump, drain the
in, donald trump has a little bit better of a lead, 66,000 votes ahead of hillary clinton. 49.1% to 45.8%, ten electoral votes in wisconsin. in new hampshire, 64% of the vote is in, trump has the lead of 9,300 votes over hillary clinton, 48.2% to 46.2%. four electoral votes in new hampshire, and he s leading in iowa, some. mo donald trump is ahead by 32,600 votes over hillary clinton in iowa. six electoral votes for key states right now, john, and those states are going to be decisive. and she has closed the gap in michigan, wolf. we ve been saying what are we waiting for. the question is we re still only at 57% of the vote in michigan. you look there we re within a one-point race of each other and you start looking and you say where are they. you go out here to kalamazoo,
