Good morning. It's Wednesday, November 9. Donald Trump was elected America's 45th president Tuesday, an astonishing victory for a celebrity businessman and political novice who capitalized on voters' economic anxieties, took advantage of racial tensions and overcame a string of sexual assault allegations on his way to the White House.

Florida voters approved Amendment 2, medical marijuana, and rejected the solar amendment, Amendment 1.
