BREAKING News!! Hillary Clinton Publicly Delivers Concession Speech by Alaminz(m): 6:21pm On Nov 09, 2016 |
Shattered-looking Hillary Clinton tells supporters to accept shock result despite winning the popular vote but issues warning that Donald respects individual human rights An emotional Hillary Clinton finally publicly conceded the presidential election just before midday on Wednesday - telling the nation: 'Donald Trump is going to be our president.' Flanked by her husband Bill and daughter Chelsea, she spoke in a New York hotel to cheering supporters who rose to their feet as she entered the room. In the final act of a political career which took her to the verge of being the first female president, she said that now it was Trump's time. 'Donald Trump is going to be our president. We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead,' she said. 'I hope that he will be a successful president for all Americans.' She went on: 'Last night I congratulated Donald Trump and offered to work with him on behalf of our country. 'This is not the outcome that we wanted or worked so hard for. But I feel pride and gratitude for this wonderful campaign that we built together.. 'Being your candidate has been one of the greatest honors of my life.' She added: 'This is painful and it will be for a long time.' Clinton, 69, performed her last act as a presidential candidate on Wednesday morning - a concession speech delivered from a hastily set up stage at a hotel several blocks away from spot she had planned to celebrate with her supporters the evening before. 'Thank you,' Clinton began, clearing her throat several times as her supporters clapped and cheered. The crowd at the downmarket New Yorker hotel's ballroom had first risen to their feet when her running mate, Tim Kaine, admitted defeat but said: 'She won the popular vote.' Her voice trembling with emotion, she said she was 'a great history-maker' as he listed her achievements 'as a woman'. Unlike the Javits Center location, which had a glass enclosure the campaign already been invoking as a symbol for what the campaign thought would be a barrier breaking victory, the room had a plaster ceiling with molding and glass chandeliers in keeping with the buildings 1930s era décor. The room was several-fold smaller than the huge National Building Museum in Washington where Clinton had delivered her first 'glass ceiling' speech eight years earlier at a raucous event.
