The 2016 race that began 595 days ago and involved 22 major
candidates just ended as millions of voters head to the polls across the U.S.
to cast their ballots for president, vice president, their representatives in
Congress and other elected officials.
On Monday, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton,
a former secretary of state and former first lady, held a small
4-percentage-point lead over GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, according
to a CBS News poll measuring the state of the race before the polls opened.
Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Virginia, is Clinton’s vice presidential nominee and
Republican Gov. Mike Pence is Trump’s running mate. Libertarian Gary Johnson
and Green Party candidate Jill Stein are two independent candidates who will
appear on some or all ballots. Evan McMullin is another independent candidate
who could perform well in his home state of Utah.
Americans fed up with eight years of a sluggish economy and
a growing disconnect with their leaders in Washington voted Tuesday to send
businessman and political novice Donald Trump to the White House, guaranteeing
one of the biggest shakeups in political history.
