Donald Trump has been elected President of the United States after sweeping key swing states, becoming the first candidate in 40 years to achieve such a feat. His victory was bolstered by a significant swing among Latino voters, particularly men, with Republican outreach efforts cited by Rep. Maria Salazar as a major factor: "The Republican Party reached out to Hispanics, which is a major reason Donald Trump won the presidential election." Trump's improved performance extended to traditionally Democratic strongholds like New York, where he markedly increased his margin. The Trump campaign has released an official statement.
