Although cheers erupted when Clinton took California, the crowd cheers are few and very far between, and people seem to be in disbelief. Many are doing napkin math to see if a win is attainable.
Inside the Jacob K. Javits Center in New York City at Clinton's election-night party, people are staring at the many screens waiting for the results. Barbara Tate, a longtime supporter of the Democratic nominee, said she was growing increasingly nervous as her friends alreadyleft.
Barbara Tate also said, "My heart is hanging on every word here," she said. "I'm on the verge of tears. I'm so upset right now. I have a 20 year old daughter in college, and I just feel if he gets to be president... it's all over. It's just ... nothing. I feel like we're going to go back to a really scary world of hate and prejudice and anti-woman. But 'til the last second."
Supporters of the Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, sat in the bleachers looking resigned. Also a string of women was also seen crying in the ladies room at the Javis Center.
In the hall where Hillary Clinton is set to deliver her speech, whether in victory or in defeat, her supporters sat slumped on the carpet before a stage empty of all but one imposing wooden lectern.
Meanwhile, while the supporters of Hillary Clinton was in grief and great disappointment, the Trump supporters were celebrating as Trump had won the Presidential election and he is set to become the 45th President of the United States of America.
It's only been two weeks since Hillary was leading in the polls, but he closed the gap and turned it around. For the last seven days, everyone inside the Pence campaign has been very confident in a win. We knew we would get Ohio. Florida is ours. North Carolina is a wonderful surprise. Trump is a rock star when you deal with him. He can talk to anybody. And Pence is the same.
