In concession speech, Clinton urges supports to give Trump 'a chance'

Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton delivers a statement after the shocking victory of her opponent Donald Trump; 'This loss hurts,' she admits. 'But never stop believing that fighting for what's right is worth it.'

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton asked her supports to give the new US President-elect Donald Trump "a chance" and pleaded with them to focus on unity in a concession speech on Wednesday.

 

 

Clinton began her concession speech by apologizing to her supporters. "I know you feel disappointed, because I feel it, too," admitted Clinton. "It is painful, and will be for a long time."

Appealing to young people, she said, "This loss hurts, but never stop believing that fighting for what's right is worth it."

 

"I still believe, more than I ever have, that if we stand together, our best days are ahead of us," added Clinton.

 

She stressed that the campaign was always about more than one person or one election. Speaking of people of all races, the LGBT community, immigrants and people with disabilities, she urged her supporters to "do all we can to keep advancing causes." She added that Americans must continue to "do their part by building a better America."

 

She thanked POTUS and FLOTUS Barack and Michelle Obama, saying the country owes them an enormous debt of gratitude.

Clinton's running mate Tim Kaine, who introduced her, praised her passion to help children and families, and said that there was no doubt she would accept the results.

 

Though polls showed she had narrowly won the popular vote, Clinton lost out in the electoral vote, while Trump racked up state after state on his way to victory.

 

During his victory speech, delivered shortly after his win had been announced, Trump broke with his usual campaign rhetoric of slamming Hillary Clinton and hyperbole, instead choosing to congratulate his opponent on her election campaign and telling his raucous audience "we owe her a major debt of gratitude" for her prolonged period of time in civil service.

 

One of Donald Trump's in-house detractors, House Speaker Paul Ryan offered his own congratulations to Trump, saying the president-elect "just eearned a mandate" by tapping into the voice and of those in America who have felt ignored for a long time.
