2016: President-elect Trump outlasted 16 Republican rivals
Continued from Page 1A
Here are 2016’s top 10 sto-
ries, in order:
1. U.S. ELECTION: This
year’s top story traces back
to June 2015, when Donald
Trump descended an escala-
tor in Trump Tower, his bastion
in New York City, to announce
he would run for president.
Widely viewed as a long shot,
with an unconventional cam-
paign featuring raucous ral-
lies and pugnacious tweets, he
outlasted 16 Republican rivals.
Among the Democrats, Hil-
lary Clinton beat back an unex-
pectedly strong challenge from
Bernie Sanders, and won the
popular vote over Trump. But
he won key Rust Belt states
to get the most electoral votes,
and will enter the White House
with Republicans maintain-
ing control of both houses of
Congress.
2. BREXIT: Confound-
ing pollsters and oddsmak-
ers, Britons voted in June to
leave the European Union,
triggering financial and polit-
ical upheaval. David Cam-
eron resigned as prime minister
soon after the vote, leaving the
task of negotiating an exit to
a reshaped Conservative gov-
ernment led by Theresa May.
Under a tentative timetable,
final details of the withdrawal
might not be known until the
spring of 2019.
3. BLACK MEN KILLED
BY POLICE: One day apart,
police in Baton Rouge, Loui-
siana, fatally shot Alton Ster-
ling after pinning him to the
ground, and a white police offi-
cer shot and killed Philando
Castile during a traffic stop in
a suburb of Minneapolis. Com-
ing after several similar cases
in recent years, the killings
rekindled debate over policing
practices and the Black Lives
Matter movement.
4. PULSE NIGHTCLUB
MASSACRE: The worst mass
shooting in modern U.S. his-
tory unfolded on Latin Night
at the Pulse, a gay nightclub in
Orlando. The gunman, Omar
Mateen, killed 49 people over
the course of three hours before
dying in a shootout with SWAT
team members. During the
standoff, he pledged allegiance
to the Islamic State.
5. WORLDWIDE TER-
ROR ATTACKS: Across the
globe, extremist attacks flared
at a relentless pace through-

shot, with an unconventional campaign featuring raucous rallies and pugnacious tweets, he outlasted 16 Republican rivals. Among the Democrats,
Hillary Clinton beat back an unexpectedly strong challenge from Bernie Sanders, and won the popular vote over Trump. But he won key Rust Belt
states to get the most electoral votes, and will enter the White House with Republicans maintaining control of both houses of Congress.
out the year. Among the many
high-profile attacks were those
that targeted airports in Brus-
sels and Istanbul, a park teem-
ing with families and children
in Pakistan, and the seafront
boulevard in Nice, France,
where 86 people were killed
when a truck plowed through
a Bastille Day celebration. In
Iraq alone, many hundreds of
civilians were killed in repeated
bombings.
6.
ATTACKS
ON
POLICE: Ambushes and tar-
geted attacks on police offi-
cers in the U.S. claimed at least
20 lives. The victims included
five officers in Dallas work-
ing to keep the peace at a pro-
test over the fatal police shoot-
ings of black men in Minnesota
and Louisiana. Ten days after
that attack, a man killed three
officers in Baton Rouge, Lou-
isiana. In Iowa, two policemen
were fatally shot in separate
ambush-style attacks while sit-
ting in their patrol cars.

PARTY EMAIL LEAKS:
Hacked emails, disclosed by
WikiLeaks, revealed at-times
embarrassing details from
Democratic Party operatives in
run-up to Election Day, lead-
ing to the resignation of Dem-
ocratic National Commit-
tee chair Debbie Wasserman
Schultz and other DNC offi-
cials. The CIA later concluded
that Russia was behind the
DNC hacking in a bid to boost
Donald Trump’s chances of
beating Hillary Clinton.
8. SYRIA: Repeated cease-
fire negotiations failed to halt
relentless warfare among mul-
tiple factions. With Russia’s
help, the government forces of
President Bashar Assad finally
seized rebel-held portions of
the city of Aleppo, at a huge
cost in terms of deaths and
destruction.
9. SUPREME COURT:
After Justice Antonin Scal-
ia’s death in February, Presi-
dent Obama nominated Mer-
rick Garland, chief judge of the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia Circuit,
to fill the vacancy. However,
majority Republicans in the
Senate refused to consider the
nomination, opting to leave the
seat vacant so it could be filled
by the winner of the presiden-
tial election. Donald Trump has
promised to appoint a conser-
vative in the mold of Scalia.
10. HILLARY CLIN-
TON’S EMAILS: Amid the
presidential campaign, the FBI
conducted an investigation into
Clinton’s use of a private com-
puter server to handle emails
she sent and received as sec-
retary of state. FBI Director
James Comey criticized Clin-
ton for carelessness but said the
bureau would not recommend
criminal charges.
Stories that did not make
the top 10 included Europe’s
migrant crisis, the death of
longtime Cuban leader Fidel
Castro, and the spread of the
Zika virus across Latin Amer-
ica and the Caribbean.
