the headline at this hour, donald trump wins ohio. the race not over yet. overnight here on the bottom of your screen and on wkyc.com. have a great night.

it is 11:30 in the east. as we look at democracy plaza, nbc news projecting that donald trump is the apparent winner in florida. the nbc news projecting donald trump is the appart florida. he appears to be winning it 29 electoral votes. >> as it stands, 49% to 40% clinton. 96% of the vote in florida. we are getting a call on utah projected winner is donald

let's look at how the votes for down. kalapuya projected for hillary clinton, hawaii for hillary clinton. donald trump the projected winner in idaho. oregon will go to hillary clinton. clinton also the projected winner in washington. truck, the projected winner in north carolina. let's see where the race to 270 stands right now. donald trump wins in iowa. there's the breakdown in iowa.

220 for trump, 209 for clinton as more and more states are filled in. some big ones still outstanding. we continue to watch and will likely turn this race one way or the other. this is the view at clinton headquarters. long faces at this viewing party in new york. not far from where the truck folks are gathered. >> you see the stunning information as it's been progressing. donald trump winning iowa which was anticipated. this is such a narrow path.

feel donald trump has a good chance of winning. they feel vindicated the donald trump is speaking for them when nobody else was. i met a ton of people who not only say donald trump said what they think, they like that he tells it like it is they would assume that would go in and shake up washington. really give it to washington. someone would cut the red tape, cut through the two sides and get things done. they believe he's somebody who will be able to do things with a suite of his hand. semenko will build a wall he came out and spoke strongly against a lot of things and broken a ton of traditional norms in this country, said things no other candidate could possibly said and survived and

looking back on this, i would say the moment he didn't call john mccain a war hero, and has poll numbers surged, that should've been an eye-opening moments for everybody in this country that nothing was going to apply to donald trump like it applies to everybody else. we saw this in the primaries. we saw it now during this general election as a poll numbers have stayed tight with hillary clinton despite the various outrageous statements made. despite the controversies despite saying a mexican judge is biased because of his heritage, despite attacking a gold star family. despite saying he could grope women because he was a celebrity . despite multiple women coming out against him and saying he touched her acted inappropriately. he's about all that. the campaign feels they have a
