The world wakes up to presidential stalemate: Newspapers around the world are left waiting as results are delayed for at least a day
Millions across the US and the world have watched the results slowly drip in for one of the most highly-anticipated elections of all time.
A number of American national newspapers captured the mood with front pages highlighting the split in the country, with the Washington Post opting for 'A nation divided' and the Daily News depicting the White House split in half red, half blue.
Others in the US Press addressed the suspense with headlines such as 'A tense wait' and 'Waiting for an answer' as more states went to the Republicans or Democrats, but no clear winner emerged.
Local newspapers focused on the election results in their patch, with the Dallas Morning News posting: 'A tense wait: Trump takes Texas; battlegrounds to decide White House; Cornyn cruises to fourth term with win over Hegar'.
The Philadelphia Inquirer, which sits in swing state Pennsylvania which could decide the election, used: 'Still counting... A nation on the edge'.
And the Atlanta Journal Constitution in Georgia published an election special edition under the headline 'Watching, waiting after smooth voting'.
Meanwhile the cliffhanger election featured on the front pages of many newspapers internationally.
The Daily Mail used a picture of First Lady of the United States Melania Trump waving, with the question: 'So is that hello or goodbye, Melania?'
The Times in London used it as its splash under the header 'America decides its fate', adding a picture of voters at a polling booth in Virginia.
The Guardian in its 4.30am edition went with 'America on a knife-edge', changing from 'Battle for America's soul' in its 10.30pm paper.
The Daily Telegraph noted the huge voting numbers with the strap 'Massive turnout as America decides', before explaining how the election could see 'the highest turn out in more than a century' after more than 100 million Americans voted early.
The Daily Express went with the headline 'Trump defiant to the last', followed by 'Historic day as Americans finally learn their fate'.
Yet the Daily Star opted for a different take on the election, noting how whichever president is voted in will be an elderly man.
Outside the English-speaking press other newspapers featured the US election on their front pages.
Le Monde in France dedicated a column to 'The Democratic party conquers the Senate' and Der Tagesspiegel in Germany published 'Day of decision'.
