See the results of the 2016 presidential election, Trump vs. Clinton

Votes are being counted in the 2024 U.S. presidential election and some are looking to past races to get a sense of how the race could play out.

The 2016 election was the first general election that now former President Donald Trump ran in as a major party candidate, defeating then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Trump won the Electoral College with 306 electoral votes, though he lost the popular vote by almost 2.9 million votes.

The result was a shock as Clinton was considered a heavy favorite to take the White House.

“It was a little bit of a traumatic election,” Anna Moody, a Democratic voter in Santa Clarita, California, told USA TODAY in an interview on Tuesday. “I really distinctly remember watching as all the results were coming in.”
