Donald Trump close to victory in race for White House

Enthusiasm is growing among supporters of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump at his election night headquarters as he leads in the race for the White House.

Supporters wearing red caps emblazoned with Trump's slogan "Make America Great Again" clapped and cheered as network announcers read results.

Polls released earlier in the day showed Mrs Clinton with a slight lead over Mr Trump but Mr Trump has taken the key swing states of Ohio and North Carolina with several key states still undeclared in the presidential election.

Both Mr Trump and his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton scored victories in states where they were expected to win. Mr Trump captured conservative states in the south and midwest, while Mrs Clinton swept several states on the east coast and Illinois in the midwest.

As polls closed Mrs Clinton is projected to win in Illinois, New York, New Jersey, New Mexico, Massachusetts, Maryland, Rhode Island, Delaware, Colorado, California, Nevada, Hawaii, Vermont and Washington DC with Mr Trump projected to take Indiana, West Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Mississippi, Missouri, South Carolina, Alabama, South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska, Montana, Idaho, North Carolina, Utah, Ohio, Florida.

CBS News has projected 215 Electoral College votes for Mrs Clinton so far with Mr Trump winning 244.
