Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump beat former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the key battleground state of Florida on Tuesday night, winning a key state in his efforts to reach 270 electoral votes.

Florida was a must-have state for Trump and his chances to emerge victorious on Tuesday night. The state had voted in the past two elections for President Obama, including a narrow victory over former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in 2012.
