**LATEST: Donald Trump is projected to win the battleground states of Florida and Iowa as well as Georgia and Hillary Clinton is projected to win Nevada. **ABC News projects that the Republicans will retain control of the House.
Hillary Clinton has conceded the hard-fought presidential contest to her Republican rival Donald Trump Tuesday night after the real estate mogul, a political novice, achieved victory in a number of key battleground states and even managed to turn formerly blue states red.
Trump was leading in the traditionally blue strongholds of Michigan and Wisconsin, holding a 3-point lead in the latter with 92 percent of the vote in.
With 86 percent of the expected vote in, more than 116 million ballots had been cast. Trump led the popular vote by more than 1 million votes.
The Clinton campaign initially said the race was too close to call. Clinton campaign chair John Podesta told supporters at the Javits Center who had amassed for a victory party to go home, saying that every vote should be counted.
But Clinton later called Trump to concede, Trump said.
Trump's struggles with female voters showed through exit poll analysis, which is subject to change, as 43 percent of women say that they would be scared if Trump were elected compared to 31 percent of men.
Trump supporters are focused on terrorism and immigration, while Clinton supporters highlighted their focus on the economy and foreign policy, according to exit poll analysis.
When asked specifically about immigration, 71 percent of exit poll respondents said that undocumented immigrants should be given a path to citizenship, while only 21 percent said they should be deported.
More respondents opposed Trump's much-touted proposal to build a wall along the southern border of the U.S. in an effort to curb illegal immigration, with 54 percent saying they were against the wall with only 40 percent supporting it.
But voters came out in droves for the real estate mogul.
