With 99 percent of precincts reporting, Donald Trump was declared the winner in Florida, with percent of the vote to Clinton’s 47 percent according to the the USA Today news outlet.

Florida has been called for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, giving him the Sunshine State’s 29 electoral votes. After a tough fight, the swing state is a big win for the Trump campaign and the Republican Party.

The state’s high electoral votes made it a hot commodity and Clinton owes her victory to support in Miami, Orlando, Tampa and Tallahassee.

The Florida polls were so intense that a scuffle between a Trump supporter and one other voter resulted in a police intervention. Additionally, two poll workers were fired for “violating professional standards when they responded to a disagreement between two poll watchers,” USA Today has reported.
