The election isn't a national race but a state-by-state race and is determined by the electoral college. Winning one of the 50 states means the candidate collects the electoral college votes.
The number of electoral votes a state has is linked to the size of its population with populous states such as California, for example, having 54 votes. Meanwhile, sparsely-populated states like Wyoming and Alaska have just three, the minimum.
In total there are 538 electoral college votes and a candidate needs at least 270 to take the presidency.
