An anxious Clinton campaign waits for election returns

NEW YORK (AP) — As the night wore on and things looked progressively worse for Hillary Clinton, her aides stopped taking calls or answering text messages. Ordinarily they would have been busy offering their spin to reporters, but as the presidential race slipped away from her and toward Republican Donald Trump, they went dark.

When finally a call went out from the Clinton camp, it was from the Democratic candidate herself to the New York businessman, who claimed the presidency in a stunning outcome fueled by disaffected white, working-class voters who saw Clinton as an embodiment of the political establishment they disdain.
