Donald Trump sensationally won the White House race this morning as Hillary Clinton phoned him at 2.30am to concede she had lost.

She made the private call shortly after sending her campaign chairman to give her supporters exactly the opposite message, that it was not over - a humiliating and bizarre end to a political career which had put her on the verge of being the first female president.

Instead a jubilant Trump headquarters erupted in cheers as the news broke.

At Trump headquarters, running mate Mike Pence was first to take the stage and said: 'This is a historic night. The American people have spoken and the American people have elected their new champion.'

To chants of USA he said: 'I come to this moment deeply humbled, grateful to God for his amazing grace. I am mostly grateful to our president-elect, whose leadership and vision will make America great again.

Winner: Trump took to the stage shortly before 3am in New York. Surrounded by his family he thanks Hillary Clinton for her service - the first signs of trying to change the tone after a divisive election 

With the family: Trump walked on to stage with his wife Melania at his side, their son Barron, and immediately behind Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner

'Let me say, it's my high honor and distinct privilege to introduce to you the President-Elect of the United States of America - Donald Trump.' 

Trump took to the stage at 2.38 am.

'Sorry to keep you waiting. Complicated business,' he said.

'I just received a call from Secretary Clinton. She congratulated us on our victory and I congratulated her and her family on a very, very hard fought campaign. She fought very hard.

'Hillary has worked very long and very hard over a very long period of time. We owe her a debt of gratitude and I mean that very sincerely.' 

Trump went on: 'For those who have chosen not to support me in the past – of which there were a few people – I am reaching out to you for your guidance and your help so that we can unify our great country.

'As I have said from the beginning, ours is not a campaign but a great movement, made up of millions of hard-working men and women.'

'No dream is too big. No challenge is too great. Nothing we want for our future is beyond our reach. America will no longer settle for less than the best,' he added.

'We must reclaim our country's destiny and be brave and bold and daring.

'I want to ell the world community that while we will always put America's interests first, we will deal dairly with everyone. Everyone.

'We will seek common ground, not hostility, partnership, not hostility.

'I have spent my entire life in business looking at the untapped potential in people and projects all over the world. That is now what I have to do.

'I have gotten to know our country so well. Tremendous potential. It's going to be a beautiful thing.

'The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer. We are going to fix our inner cities. We are going to rebuild our infrastructure, which will become, by the way, second to none, and we will putmillions of our people to work as we rebuild it.

'We will also – finally – take care of our great veterans who have been so loyal, and I have gotten to know so many over this 18-month journey.' 

The bizarre ending to Clinton's political career came after Trump confounded pollsters at every turn, capturing one 'swing' state after another in a line of toppled dominoes that stretched across three time zones and now ends at the White House.

The last to fall was the Keystone State - after Florida, North Carolina, Georgia and Wisconsin all went to the Republican. That gave him 274 votes in the electoral college - the winner is the first to achieve 270.

He is also winning in the popular vote by a more than one per cent margin. 

But Clinton is clearly gearing up to go to court across the country to try to force recounts in close-fought precincts and counties in the hope of grinding out a victory.

It is precisely the divisive end to the election she accused Trump of planning when he said last month that he may not accept the result.

If her beyond-the-eleventh-hour tactic fails, Clinton is contemplating the ruins of her career, a promise of a full-scale investigation into her and Bill's charity and personal riches by a special prosecutor, and the Democrats locked out of not just the White House but both houses of Congress.

There will be a Republican lock on the Supreme Court which could last a generation.
