In summary, Donald Trump won the US presidential election in 2016 with at least 279 electoral votes, while Hillary Clinton received 228 votes. The Republicans also maintained control of both houses of Congress. The results were surprising and contentious, with close margins in popular vote and swing states. In response to the results, Clinton conceded and expressed a willingness to work with Trump for the good of the country. Both candidates spoke about the need to come together as a nation. Trump outlined his policy agenda, which included revitalizing the economy and promoting job growth through tax reform, infrastructure rebuilding, repeal and replacement of Obamacare, and being "tough" on immigration and international trade agreements. The Senate majority will allow Republicans to set the agenda in the Senate, but bipartisan cooperation will still be necessary for meaningful policy achievements. An early challenge may involve filling a vacancy on the Supreme Court created by the death of Antonin Scalia.
