A presidential election like no other before it in U.S. history provided several of the images selected by Associated Press photo editors as the best of 2016. The bitter divide between the candidates and their supporters is evident in a photo of Republican Donald Trump sternly pointing a finger at Democrat Hillary Clinton during a presidential debate. Some of the less-contentious parts of the campaign are also represented, including an image of Clinton sharing a warm embrace with President Barack Obama and a shot of Trump attempting to give his running mate Mike Pence a peck on the cheek at the Republican National Convention in July.
