Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has declared 44th President of the United States to reach the 270 electoral votes needed for a majority.
Momentum of the 47-year-old senator from Illinois grew after he took the crucial battleground states of Pennsylvania, which has 21 electoral votes, Ohio and the 20 votes. History held true after the victory of Ohio, a Republican who has not won the presidency without winning this state.
The focus of much of the night was in the other key states of Virginia, Indiana, Florida and North Carolina, whose race was too close to call much of the night, despite the early poll closing times .
In the end, Obama secured Virginia, which had been Democratic for the first time since 1964.
