US election as it happened:

UPDATES COMING UP!
New York —
Thousands of Hillary Clinton supporters who flooded the glass-ceilinged Javits
Center Tuesday to watch their candidate become the first woman to be elected
president Tuesday night were beginning to show sharp signs of concern as they watched
Trump pick up several battleground states on the big screen.
The crowd
was nearly silent as they listened to MSNBC’s Steve Kornacki map out Trump’s
path to victory — if he takes Michigan and Florida. The Sunshine State has
since been called for Trump.
Quickly, the
channel cut out and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo took the stage, saying it’s
fitting that Clinton will be elected president in New York, “the birthplace of
the women’s rights movement.”
“It’s
shocking. I can’t believe it’s this close. I’m shocked,” said Terri, a
supporter from Washington, D.C., who didn’t want to use her last name. She said
she had been fielding texts from family and friends all night, asking her how
it could be possible that Trump could win.

Another
young woman wearing a pantsuit repeatedly refreshed the New York Times on her
phone, a stressed expression on her face. Many supporters sat down near the
back, their eyes glued on their phones.
Others
turned to gallows humor. “The only consolation is Vladimir Putin is thrilled,”
one supporter said to another.
