On November 8, 2016, Trump won the presidency with 306 electoral votes to 232 received by Clinton. Trump became the fourth U.S. candidate to win the Electoral College despite receiving fewer popular votes than his opponent. We are discovering more news of Donald Trumps victorious landslide after the recounting of popular votes. Trump was the second major-party presidential nominee in American history whose experience comes principally from running a business (Wendell Willkie was the first). When he takes office, Trump will become the first United States President without prior government or military experience, and the first without prior political experience since Dwight D. Eisenhower. Trump will also be the oldest first-term president; Ronald Reagan was older when he took office for a second term. Donald Trump's support held strongest among white working-class voters because, as you will see in this Photobiography, President Trump continues to remain humble while appreciating his supporters and welcoming them as family, encouraging them to greatness, inspiring through example, and making each person a priority of which many appear in this historic special edition. Trump's victory marked the first time that Republicans would control the White House and both chambers of Congress since the period 2003–2007. In the early hours of November 9, 2016, Trump received a phone call in which Clinton conceded the presidency to him. Trump then delivered his victory speech before hundreds of supporters in the Hilton Hotel in New York City. The speech was in stark contrast with his previous rhetoric, with Trump promising to heal the division caused by the election, thanking Clinton for her service to the country, and promising to be a president to all Americans. The following day, Trump had a first-time meeting with President Obama to discuss plans for a peaceful transition of power. The meeting was notably cordial, with The New York Times stating: "It was an extraordinary show of cordiality and respect between two men who have been political enemies and are stylistic opposites."
