So far, republican candidate Donald Trump defeats Democrats Hillary Clinton in the elections that have held at Alabama, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Mississippi, North Dakota, Montana, South Dakota, Kansas, Wyoming, Arkansas and a few others.
However, Clinton has won Dixville Notch, Vermont, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, Rhode Island, Washington, D.C., New Jersey, Delawar. The figures are fast changing as voters cast their votes across the country.
Over all, Republicans will retain the control of the United States House while the Senate seats remain undecided as election is ongoing.
