Electoral College confirms Trump as US President
Tuesday, December 20, 11:00 a.m.: According to media reports, six weeks following the US presidential election, Donald Trump was confirmed as the future head of state by the electoral college. Trump cleared the hurdle of 270 necessary votes, several media reported unanimously on Monday. The billionaire is set to replace President Barack Obama in office on January 20th.
The electors began casting their votes in their respective states on Monday morning. Although they were not necessarily tied to the November 8 election result, it was considered certain that the “Electoral College” would elect Trump as US President. At least 270 of the 538 votes were needed for this – the 70-year-old received these, several US media reported unanimously.
The media referred to their own counts. The votes are not to be officially counted until January 6 at a joint session of the House of Representatives and Senate in Washington.

Democratic convention in Philadelphia
It is still unclear whether she will be the first female President of the USA – but Hillary Clinton will definitely go down in the history books: the former secretary of state was the first woman to be nominated by her party as a candidate for the highest office in the state. The 68-year-old announced on Tuesday that she wanted to play a pioneering role for all women.
In the convention vote, Clinton received 2,842 delegate voteswhich was well above the threshold of 2382 votes required for the absolute majority. Left-leaning Senator Bernie Sanderswho had a heated argument with the 68-year-old in the primaries, came up with 1865 votes. On Monday he had campaigned convincingly for the former foreign minister as a candidate.
