'The people who didn't show up at the polls got Donald Trump into the White House', says Democrat reporter

A Democrat has claimed that it was the people who didn't vote who ensured that Donald Trump landed the victory in the US Presidential election.

On Wednesday Mr Trump claimed victory in one of the most controversial elections in US history. The new president-elect has now met with President Obama to oversee the peaceful transitions of power.

Nikki Courtney, a reporter at KTRH in Texas, insisted it was the people who didn't turn out who allowed Mr Trump to win, and expressed her fear at what would happen now.
