WASHINGTON, United States (AFP) — Hillary Clinton defeated her Republican rival Donald Trump in a hard-fought contest in battleground Virginia, US television networks reported on Tuesday.
Virginia has 13 electoral college votes and while the state’s south leans Republican, its heavily-populated north — which neighbors the capital Washington — is staunchly Democratic, and helped put Clinton over the top.
