With the U.S. presidential election hinging on just a single number, 270, the race to secure the majority of the 538 electoral votes was intense. 270 Electoral College votes is the minimum required for any candidate to claim victory. Donald Trump has reached 295 making him victorious. We hit the streets of New York to get reactions from people on what they think.

Reaching 270 electoral votes isn't just about numbers - it's about people's hopes, fears, and visions for the future.
