I think you misinterpreted.
CNN projected Trump as the winner of the election instead of winner of the popular vote.
It is somewhat confusing the way CNN presented it.
Disagree: I think Danette is correct.
The CNN “tab” (you have to click on the “projected tab” at the top of the page linked below) for the projected popular vote clearly shows the orange colored “winner” band has Trump as the projected winner ...same w/the graph shown below it; the orange “winner” color is the Trump “bar” on the graph.
The vote is still being counted and CNN believes that the votes that are still out and are in predominantly “red” (Republican/Conservative) areas that will put Trump “over the top” for the popular vote.
