NNA - FOX News has projected that Donald Trump has been elected as the 47th President of the United States.

Fox News called the presidential election for Trump just before 2 a.m. after several key swing states were called for Trump, including North Carolina, Georgia and Pennsylvania. AP has called North Carolina and Georgia for the former president, but has not made a race call yet for Pennsylvania.

With Pennsylvania’s 19 electoral votes, Trump is 3 electoral votes away from the needed 270 to win the presidential election.

Trump is expected to speak to supporters shortly. ----Agencies
