Trump projected winner in Indiana, Kentucky; Clinton takes Vermont

November 09, 2016 05:41

Donald Trump is projected to be the winner in Indiana, collecting 11 electoral votes there, according to the Associated Press.

Trump was also projected to be the winner in Kentucky.

Initial indications from Kentucky showed that the Republican candidate was dominating the voting in that state, with 79 per cent of the ballots yet counted.

The state was always likely to support Trump. But the results show that Trump's support is still holding strong.

Kentucky was one of the first states to close at 6pm eastern time and is likely to be one of the first to declare its results. It is almost certain that voters there will back Trump, but the margin of victory might prove a useful way of understanding the support he is generating across the country.

Both Kentucky and Indiana are traditionally Republican strongholds.

Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton has won Vermont and its three electoral votes. The state was among the first to be called in the presidential election.
