(Bloomberg Businessweek) -- To anyone following the presidential election, the polls made the race out to be a real nail-biter that could take days, if not weeks, to decide. Yet here we are on the morning after Election Day, and Donald Trump has won convincingly, besting Kamala Harris in five swing states and leading her in the other two. His win is part of a broad American shift to the right: Republicans have taken control of the Senate and are poised to retain their majority in the House.
