Donald Trump will be the nation's 45th president of the United States after a stunning political upset on Election Day.

On Long Island, Trump carried Suffolk by a margin of 52 percent to 44 percent over Hillary Clinton, but lost to Clinton in Nassau, 51 percent to 46 percent.

The popular vote was also divided, with Clinton winning 59,786,125 votes to Trump's 59,578,670.

As with Long Island, the president-elect will likely need a plan to unify the nation.

"In the coming days and weeks, we're going to learn more about who the administration is going to select for certain leadership positions within the Executive branch," said Lee Zeldin, a Trump supporter re-elected to Suffolk's 1st Congressional District. "A policy agenda for the next 100 days will become clear. And that is going to be critical."

Many Muslims, women and minority groups who spoke with News 12 Long Island felt like they were targeted by Trump to help him take advantage of the anger and frustration many voters feel over a stagnant economy.

"The dissatisfaction, mixed in with people's job losses and the whole element of feeling like you've been left out, I think that all played a part," said Jordan Wilson, an NAACP activist.

Trump supporter Paul Meisenholder said America needed a change.

"And if it doesn't work out in four years, you change again," he said.
