As the results for the much awaited US presidential election begin to trickle, Republican Donald Trump won in Kentucky and Indiana while Clinton surged in Vermont.

In addition, incumbent senator Patrick Leahy, a Democrat, has won reelection in Vermont, and senator Rand Paul has won reelection in Kentucky, reports the Guardian.

Trump's running mate Mike Pence, the Governor of Indiana, thanked his state for contributing 11 electoral votes to Trump's column.

"Thank you Indiana for making our state first on the board to vote to Make America Great Again! @realDonaldTrump," tweeted Pence.

Meanwhile, Vigo County, Indiana, which has voted for the winner of every presidential election since choosing Dwight D. Eisenhower as the 34th US president has gone for Trump.

 

This leads to a scary question if Vigo's streak is ending or is Trump going to occupy the White House.
