Donald Trump is the oldest president-elect in US history

Donald Trump secured the position as the 2016 president-elect Wednesday morning after one of the most tense presidential seasons in recent history.

The 45th president of the United States will be inaugurated in January. He'll turn 71 the same year.

But aside from his distinct background, Trump will also make history as being the oldest president-elect to take office.

Trump, born June 14, 1946, is 70 years old.
