Republican Donald Trump is projected to become the next United States president after a bitter-fought election cycle against his rival Hillary Clinton.

Trump finally won surpassing the necessary 270 votes after clinching Pennsylvania's 20 electoral votes to win the presidency.

The republican mood earlier in the day was somber as Clinton clinched early victories in east coast states but started to shift once the controversial candidate clinched the swing state of Ohio.

Speaking from Clinton's New York rally centre, Al Arabiya's Talal AlHaj reported a depressing mood, with some reporters seeing leaving the building an hour before Trump clinched the win.
