Republican Donald Trump, after scoring a series of shocking wins in battleground US states including Florida and Ohio on Tuesday, beats Hillary Clinton to win US presidency as Clinton concedes defeat.

Shortly after Fox called Wisconsin for Trump, supporters at his election evening rally in New York began to chant "lock her up" - a common refrain on the campaign trail for the former US secretary of state repeatedly dubbed "Crooked Hillary" by the volatile Trump.

A packed crowd in the lobby of Trump's new hotel in Washington D.C. chanted "lock her up" and "USA, USA, USA" as state after state was called for Trump.
