Those who stayed up until 1:47 a.m. witnessed the announcement of the next president of the United States: Republican Donald Trump. Vice president-elect Republican Mike Pence introduced Trump for his speech at his election headquarters in New York.

The result came as a surprise to many, mainly because the polls in several swing states did not reflect the unofficial results from election night.

The New York Times’ polling averages before the election showed 10 of 15 swing states leaning toward Democrat Hillary Clinton. Five of the 10 switched over to Trump: North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and Florida. All five swing states leaning toward Trump voted for him.

The swing states and their electoral votes were:

  1. Minnesota — Clinton (10)
  2. Virginia — Clinton (13)
  3. Colorado — Clinton (9)
  4. Pennsylvania — Trump (20)
  5. Wisconsin — Trump (10)
  6. New Hampshire — Clinton (4)
  7. Michigan — Trump (16)
  8. North Carolina — Trump (15)
  9. Florida — Trump (29)
  10. Nevada — Clinton (6)
  11. Ohio — Trump (18)
  12. Arizona — Trump (11)
  13. Georgia — Trump (16)
  14. Iowa — Trump (6)
  15. Missouri — Trump (10)

At the time, Trump led the popular vote at 48 percent to Clinton’s 47.2 percent, according to The New York Times.
