New york. Were bargathering voter reacti to the president ial race. The concession call at about 2 30 this morning. This is an nbc news special report. Heres matt lauer and savannah guthrie. Good morning. From the nbc News Election Center in rockefeller plaza, this is an nbc news special report on what has been a stunning few hours in the political world and beyond. Donald trump has been elected the next president of the united states. His victory coming early this morning after he won several key battleground states. Early this morning, trump appeared with his family and his running mate, mike pence at a victory rally here in manhattan shortly after receiving a call from his opponent, Hillary Clinton, conceding the race. Secretary clinton has not appeared in front of the cameras to concede publicly. She is expected to speak about 4 1 2 hours from now. Well carry that for you live. Let us get right to nbc National CorrespondentPeter Alexander whos been up all night watching this race unfold and then end. Peter, good morning. Matt and savannah, good morning. Donald trump just wrapped up his remarks literally less than three hours ago. Thises with a political earthquake, both seismic and sweeping this victory for donald trump. It was a dramatic night. Inside trump tower there was euphoria, hugs and high fives as trump and his team watched the tally grow as he ultimately overwhelmed Hillary Clinton in this race. He really has become the great disrupter, riding a wave of support from White Working Class voters across large swaths of this country. Many people who feel they have been left behind by the growth, following the Great Recession in this ccountry. Donald trump last night in his remarks donald trump, a man who we should note has urged supporters to effectively say lock her up, last night said americans owed Hillary Clinton a debt of gratitude and he also urged the country to come together. Now its time for america to bind the wounds of division. We have to get together. To all republicans and democrats and independents across this nation, i say, it is time for us to come together as one united people. New this morning, one other note, Donald Trumps favored mega phone through the course of the campaign was twitter. This morning hes changed his bion his twitter account, matt and savannah, it now reads president elect. All right. Peter, thank you. As for the clinton camp, you can only imagine collective devastation this morning as we await her concession speech, Nbcs Kristen Welker just outside in democracy plaza. Good morning to you. Secretary clinton thought she was poised to make history, instead she suffered a stinging defeat, one that stunned her supporters and sent shock waves all across the world. Just recapping what happened last night. Thousands of her supporters were gathered at the javid center right here in new york to are what they thought would be a historic celebration. When it came clear that clintons path was narrowing, many supporters started crying, even leaving before the event was over. Her Campaign Chairman addressed the crowd urging them to fight on but then just moments later, secretary clinton conceded to donald trump. Were still awaiting official reaction from the white house. This is clearly also a rebuke of president obama and his legacy. Matt, savannah, back to you. Let us turn to another of our sleepless crew here, chuck todd who watched the returns come in, whats been described as an earthquake. A map turned inside out. What do you make of it . This is rural america, working class whites essentially revolting against the political establishment. They did it inside the Republican Party in nominating donald trump. And i think there was obviously a lot of skepticism in the entire political establishment that he could run a Campaign Like this and win a general election. But this revolution, you can almost call it, certainly a political revolution, look, it is sending it was sending a message that, hey, stop ignoring us, stop talking down to us. I think theres a lot of institutions in this country that have to look at these results and look at what happened and figure out not just look at the white house. Look at the fact republicans end the evening with the white house, the house and the senate. Its quite the mandate for donald trump. He did this without the help of anybody. He did this on his own, which means he goes in there almost unshackled. Well, its going to be interesting what the relationship Going Forward is going to be between donald trump and paul ryan. He chastised ryan throughout the course of this campaign for not fully supporting him. Lets see if paul ryan stays speaker of the house by the way. Nbc news will have updates all morning long. Well have a special edition of today, coming up. At 6 06 we continue the results and reaction, both to the president ial race and to our local races. We saw high voter turnout across our area at several philadelphia polling locations, the line went on for blocks.

We saw similar lines in both delaware and new jersey. We know the results. And nbc 10s Monique Braxton is live at the trenton train station with reaction from some of those voters. Monique, what are you hearing . Good morning to you both. Many commuters are learning about the outcome of the election when theyre arriving here at the train station. Most weve spoken to are upset or dismayed but one voter told us shes optimistic about the president elect. Trump. We want a better america than weve had in years past. Youre a trump supporter . Did i support trump. Why do you feel hell be a good president . Hes a Good Business person, i feel. Some people debate that as well. I think hes not afraid to get in there and make America Great again. We need someone to stand for us, be strong and im sorry, we need to be feared again. People who said they were not going to vote for trump may or may not have voted for him. Its just sad that you dont feel comfortable vocalizing who you support but then in anonymity you choose.
