Donald John Trump waselected the 45th president of theUnited States on Tuesday in astunning culmination of an explo-sive, populist and polarizing cam-paign that took relentless aim atthe institutions and long-heldideals of American democracy.

The surprise outcome, defyinglate polls that showed HillaryClinton with a modest but persist-ent edge, threatened convulsionsthroughout the country and theworld, where skeptics hadwatched with alarm as Mr.Trump’s unvarnished overtures todisillusioned voters took hold.

The triumph for Mr. Trump, 70,a real estate developer-turned-re-ality television star with no gov-ernment experience, was a pow-erful rejection of the establish-ment forces that had assembledagainst him, from the world ofbusiness to government, and theconsensus they had forged on ev-erything from trade to immigra-tion.

The results amounted to a repu-diation, not only of Mrs. Clinton,but of President Obama, whoselegacy is suddenly imperiled. Andit was a decisive demonstration ofpower by a largely overlooked co-alition of mostly blue-collar whiteand working-class voters who feltthat the promise of the UnitedStates had slipped their graspamid decades of globalization andmulticulturalism.

In Mr. Trump, a thrice-marriedManhattanite who lives in a mar-ble-wrapped three-story pent-house apartment on Fifth Avenue,they found an improbable cham-pion.

Mr. Trump’s strong showinghelped Republicans retain controlof the Senate. Only one Republi-can-controlled seat, in Illinois, fellto Democrats early in the evening.And Senator Richard Burr ofNorth Carolina, a Republican, eas-ily won re-election in a race thathad been among the country’smost competitive. A handful ofother Republican incumbents fac-ing difficult races were runningbetter than expected.

G.O.P. Rides Trump’s Coattails

AMBRIDGE, Pa. — As DonaldJ. Trump’s surprisingly strongshowing played out on a televisionabove Fred’s Divot bar, the menwho by day carry pipes, hang dry-wall and drive locomotiveswatched the returns with mount-ing satisfaction.

“He’s killing it — that’s our nextpresident,” said John Gaguzis, 50,who had affixed an “I voted”sticker to the blue uniform shirt hewears in a bottling plant. “Weneed a change. We’ve got to get ridof the Democrats that supportpeople that don’t want to work.”

Jerry Kormick, a disabled con-struction worker engaged in a se-rious darts competition, said hehad voted for the first time in hislife, at age 37. He never believedpolls showing Hillary Clintonahead, he said, not after visitingfriends in rural North Carolina.

This former steel town west ofPittsburgh was for decades aDemocratic stronghold, whereFranklin D. Roosevelt’s FourFreedoms are proclaimed on amemorial in the small town park.But industrial decline and what isperceived as too-fast cultural

change in the country at large hastransformed Ambridge and therest of Beaver County around it,with the yards of faded brickhomes presenting a river ofTrump signs.

When votes were still beingcounted early Wednesday, Mrs.Clinton and Mr. Trump were es-sentially tied in Pennsylvania, butit was clear who had won BeaverCounty: Mr. Trump by 20 points.

Joann and Mark Crano, both re-tired, switched their registrationsto Republican this year after a life-time as Democrats, and theyreeled off the names of manyother friends and family memberswho did likewise.

TRUMP TRIUMPHSOUTSIDER MOGUL CAPTURES THE PRESIDENCY,

STUNNING CLINTON IN BATTLEGROUND STATES

JERUSALEM — Donald J.Trump’s stunning election vic-tory on Tuesday night rippledway beyond the nation’s bound-aries, upending an internationalorder that prevailed for decadesand raising profound questionsabout America’s place in theworld.

For the first time since beforeWorld War II, Americans chose apresident who promised to re-verse the internationalism prac-ticed by predecessors of bothparties and to build walls bothphysical and metaphorical. Mr.Trump’s win foreshadowed anAmerica more focused on its ownaffairs while leaving the world totake care of itself.

The outsider revolution thatpropelled him to power over theWashington establishment ofboth political parties also re-flected a fundamental shift ininternational politics evidencedalready this year by events likeBritain’s referendum vote toleave the European Union. Mr.Trump’s success could fuel thepopulist, nativist, nationalist,closed-border movements al-

ready so evident in Europe andspreading to other parts of theworld.

The results of Tuesday’s elec-tion left many around the worldscrambling to figure out what itmight mean in parochial terms.For Mexico, it seemed to presagea new era of confrontation withits northern neighbor. For Eu-rope and Asia, it could rewritethe rules of modern alliances,trade deals, and foreign aid. Forthe Middle East, it foreshadoweda possible alignment with Russiaand fresh conflict with Iran.

Donald John Trump defied theskeptics who said he would neverrun, and the political veteranswho scoffed at his slapdash cam-paign.

He attacked the norms of Amer-ican politics, singling out groupsfor derision on the basis of raceand religion and attacking the le-gitimacy of the political process.

He ignored conventions of com-mon decency, employing casualvulgarity and raining personal hu-miliation on his political oppo-nents and critics in the media.

And in the ultimate act of defi-ance, Mr. Trump emerged victori-ous, summoning a tidal wave ofsupport from less educated whitesdisplaced by changes in the econ-omy and deeply resistant to thecountry’s shifting cultural and ra-cial tones. In his triumph, Mr.Trump has delivered perhaps thegreatest shock to the Americanpolitical system in modern timesand opened the door to an era ofextraordinary political uncer-tainty at home and around theglobe.

The slashing, freewheelingcampaign that took him to the

doorstep of the White House rep-licated a familiar pattern from Mr.Trump’s life, but on an Olympianscale.

The son of a wealthy real estatedeveloper in Queens, Mr. Trump,70, spent decades pursuing socialacceptance in upscale Manhattanand seeking, at times desperately,to persuade the wider world to seehim as a great man of affairs. ButMr. Trump was often met withscoffing disdain by wealthy elitesand mainstream civic leaders, cul-minating in a mortifying roast byPresident Obama at the WhiteHouse Correspondents Dinner in2011.
