US Election Results: Donald Trump Wins Florida And North Carolina

It could be happening.

Donald Trump has bagged the prized states of Florida and North Carolina in vital wins for the Republican nominee - opening up his prospects of a shock win.

With Trump also leading in Wisconsin and New Hampshire, his chances were fast increasing - a surge which saw the markets to tank and forecast change markedly in his favour.

Many have turned their sights to Hillary Clinton’s ‘firewall’ that many expected her to keep, and land her in the White House, with holding Michigan and Wisconsin seen as essential.

And, of course, Nigel Farage couldn’t resist.

Market moves suggest Brexit may be happening again.
