In the amazing upset that could put Donald Trump over the top in the race for the White House, the GOP nominee carried Wisconsin’s 10 electoral votes with 49.3 percent of the vote just after 11:30 p.m. when Fox News called the state with 69 percent of the state reporting.

The Badger State proved to be an unusually intense battleground state for the two presidential nominees during the last few months of their campaigns.

Although Clinton was polling ahead of Trump by 16 points in mid-August, the Republican nominee pulled within two points of her in September. The RealClearPolitics polling average cited Clinton as ahead of Trump by 5.5 points the week before the election.

Trump poured significant efforts into Wisconsin and held five rallies there during the general election season in a concerted effort to flip the state. Clinton, on the other hand, appeared at no Wisconsin rallies during the general election season and preferred to deploy surrogates to the Badger State in her stead.

Wisconsin proved to be the last state to hand Trump a huge loss during the primary season before he clinched the Republican nomination. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz won the state during the primaries. But Trump more than made up for that loss on Election Day.
