>> it's a debacle. it's sad. >> i had decided with trump. >> i hope the rest the world doesn't hate us. >> that is, of course, local reaction to the stunning election of donald j. trump as the 45th president of the united states. >> american history is made in the early morning hours of today. >> donald trump will be the next president of the united states. nbc 10's rosemary connors is with us here in the studio with reaction from the president-elect and reaction from the clinton campaign. this had the nation on edge all night. >> yes, vai and tracy. at one point it was unclear if this election would end overnight or spend the day reporting on recounts. hillary clinton could not get to 270. let's take a map of the electoral college votes. this map dominated by red. these numbers updated, trump 278 to clinton's 218. what's been key is getting

states like pennsylvania. these battleground states, ohio, north carolina and florida. the republican nominee waited until 3:00 this morning to greet his supporters at the hilton hotel in midtown manhattan. trump and his family congratulated the vice presidenç to be mike pence and his family. when he got to the microphone, the first thing on trump's agenda was to let the world know his opponent conceded the race. >> i've just received a call from secretary clinton. she congratulated us. it's about us, on our victory and i congratulated her and her family on a very, very hard-fought campaign. >> you are now looking at the last time we saw hillary clinton in public when she was voting yesterday morning near her home in chappaqua, new york.

her campaign chairman, john podesta addressed clinton's disappointed supporters in manhattan around 2:00 this morning. >> they're still counting votes and every vote should count. we're not going to have anything more to say tonight. everybody should head home. you should get some sleep. we'll have more to say tomorrow. your voices and your enthusiasm means so much to her and to tim and to all of us. >> now, coming up in the next 15 minutes i'll be back. we'll take a look at how philadelphia and the surrounding counties voted, breaking down all the numbers. i'm rosemary connors, nbc 10 news. back to you. >> rosemary, thank you. financial markets around the world are reacting to news that trump is the president-elect. investors are uncertain on trade and immigration. european markets opened lower, japan's major index nose dived and the mexican peso tumbled. here in the u.s. the numbers

rebound after falling sharply last night. at one point, the dow was down about 800 points. in the last few hours it's been down about 300 points. all night long, voters across the nation and here at home watched and wait for the official announcement. >> donald trump talked about bringing the country back together after a divisive campaign, he talked about the need to bind the wounds of division. what do people think this morning who are waking up to this news? monique braxton is live at the trenton train station where passengers will soon be arriving to head to new york. monique, what are they telling you? >> no one has arrived here yet. the train station here, the trenton transit center is closed but in just a few hours, people will be arriving here who have come from bucks county as well as trenton to head to new york. some of them will be waking up and finding out for the first time that the republican presidential candidate has won this election. so we have some folks that we've talked to in the wee hours of the morning and we gauge their

reaction. >> it's a debacle. it's sad. >> i think this whole election all they have done is argue about each other instead of saying what they were going to do for this country. that's pretty much what this election has been about, them against each other. >> i like the fact that he doesn't have a lot of tact. i love the fact that he's not in politics. i think we need something different. let's run this as a business. he's not the greatest businessman of all time but everyone in the world knows who he is. he has some sort of pull. i mean, he has to be doing something right. >> as you heard, the views are going to be mixed. probably that is just a sampling of what we're going to hear all day long. throughout the morning we'll be here in trenton talking to people as they arrive here and head to new york about the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. live for now in trenton, monique braxton, nbc 10 news. >> monique, thank you.

rainfall is well to the west in the harrisburg area and rain and that will be moving into the area. the few showers we're looking at right now in montgomery and bucks county, moving past salasburg and richland and bedminster, very light rainfall to start with. it is not heavy rainfall by any means. it will be a steady, light rainfall this morning. this afternoon, perkasie and much of the rest of the area going to be back to the scattered showers for this afternoon. 9:00 this morning, rain for allentown, trenton, philadelphia, wilmington, dover and into cape may. the first rain drops will be moving in and it spreads across the rest of new jersey. meantime at noontime, you can see there will be breaks in the precipitation. still a steady light rain for allentown and trenton. we'll see some breaks in philadelphia, wilmington and dover. as we go into the afternoon, the next phase of the rain coming in, again, it's going to be light rain, no steady, heavy rain. even moderate showers are a long way from us.

skies for delaware and new jersey and the shore. shore will eventually get some showers later this morning. you'll see them before that and delaware and new jersey and then tapering off, scattered showers as we go into the afternoon. to show you how long this is going to last, a look at the 10 day on 10 when i come back in less than ten minutes. >> ç4:10 this wednesday mornin. always some surprises in the political process in never any surprises in the 4:00 hour on the roads. >> i think it might be a later rush hour. many, many people stayed up very late thinking there would be a result, a result, a result. if they did, they waited until 3:00 a.m. this morning. we'll watch the roads. >> i live in center city. i was expecting people to be out onhe streets running around. i don't know why. but i didn't see anything like that. the vine street expressway, open in both directions with 24th street, westbound towards the schuylkill. everything looks great. the schuylkill expressway looks okay.

you can see we're at green on roads right here. eastbound into center city from the blue route to the vine street expressway. just 13 minutes. speeds also into the high 50s. watching university city for some construction. 33rd street is closed between market street and arch street and that will be there until friday the 11th. >> it's 4:11 right now. we knew pennsylvania would play a huge role in the presidential election. across the state, every vote counted. >> we take a close look at how each county in our area voted in the race for president. also, celebrating another term, pennsylvania senator pat toomey beat out his democratic rival. up next we take you to both campaigns for their reaction.

phone call just before 3:00 this morning. nbc 10 got local reaction to the trump victory. >> this whole election, all they have done is argue about each other instead of saying what they were going to do for this country. that's pretty much what this election has been about, them against each other. >> who is going to do what, i couldn't tell you. it's against hillary and trump. that it's all they've argued about. >> the battleground state of pennsylvania proved to be one of the deciding factors in the race for president, flipping to republican for the first time since 1988. >> nbc 10's rosemary connors joins us now for a look at how people across the keystone state voted. >> if donald trump was going to win pennsylvania he would have to come up big, flip pennsylvania from blue to red. let's take a look at some of the counties. philadelphia, overwhelmingly went for hillary clinton, 82%. montgomery county, 59% for clinton, delaware county, similar story. it's when you get a little bit further out from philadelphia.

chester county still hillary clinton, we get to bucks, they're split. berks county went for donald trump. lehigh county, hillary clinton but only by a few points and northampton county, again, to donald trump. this of course was a big story here in pennsylvania that if a person who is going to take pennsylvania's electoral votes they would have to get philadelphia, the surrounding counties and beyond to offset republican votes further out in the state. we'll continue to follow this. we also are going to have more reaction from some of the voters in our area. we'll hear more from donald trump coming up in 15 minutes. >> 4:15. republican pat toomey will return to the senate. >> nbc 10's randy gyllenhall was at his lehigh county headquarters for his late-night victory speech. take a look. >> it was a nail biter in the pennsylvania senate race. pat toomey wins re-election. the balloons just fell from above as this crowd celebrates this last-minute win. it's about 1:00 in the morning

right now. senator toomey took the stage, telling the crowd he got a congratulatory phone call from his opponent, katie mcginty and added that he's ready to take the fight back to washington and shake things up. >> let's face it, this was a tough campaign, quite a battle. there was an all-time record amount of money spent against us. a lot of the ads were just outright false. but you know, the voters were smart enough to figure it out as they usually are. >> toomey's victory not a surprise. he did trail in a number of polls and had millions of dollars of negative ads run against him. his win also secures the u.s. senate to be in republican hands, retenning that majority control. pat toomey says he's ready to go back to washington. in lehigh county, randy gyllenhall, nbc 10 news. i'm here in center city. the room cleared out shortly after katie mcginty gave her speech, her concession speech to pat toomey. she was very gracious in defeat and earlier in the night, there

was a lot of excitement in this room from supporters of both katie mcginty and hillary clinton. they wanted to see a very historic night and see katie mcginty become the first female u.s. senator in pennsylvania. but that didn't happen. as the night continued, we saw a lot of people disappointed. a lot of long faces, some people didn't ev) stay through most of the night. we spoke to a few of them, some of them are trying to look at some kind of silver lining, moving ahead. katie mcginty said she doesn't know what's next but she will continue to spend time with her family in the meantime. >> and it's 4:17 right now. in addition to the pennsylvania senate race, voters here also elected a new attorney general. >> nbc 10's pamela osborne is live for us in center city to look at that race and other developments from new jersey and delaware. pam, walk us through this. >> yes, certainly a lot to get through this morning. we're going to break it all down for you. let's start with the race for pa
