2016 Presidential Election (A Baker's World)

The 2016 United States presidential election was the 58th quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 8, 2016. This election was notoriously close and considered one of the most polarizing elections in US History. Both nominees were historically unpopular to the general electorate. Despite a close race, Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her running mate Virginia Senator Tim Kaine defeated Businessman Donald Trump and his running mate Indiana Governor Mike Pence.

Although Donald Trump and other Republicans decried fraud, but the results were still certified and on January 20th 2017, Hillary Clinton was sworn in as President.
