Candidates are racing to hit the magic number of 270 electoral votes, an absolute majority of the 538 members of the electoral college, with the number from each state based on its population size.
The tally has switched back and forth several times over the course of Election Night, with Trump now leading after a big win in Florida.
Several states were still too close to call including Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin -- all vital to Clinton's chances.
