Clinton offers to work with Trump, wishes him success

Hillary Clinton vowed Wednesday to work with American President-elect Donald Trump, and urged fellow Democrats to allow him the chance to lead the deeply divided country.

“Last night, I congratulated Donald Trump and offered to work with him on behalf of our country,” the defeated candidate told supporters, holding back tears in her first public remarks since the Republican’s upset victory.

“I hope that he will be a successful president for all Americans.”

“We have seen that our nation is more deeply divided than we thought,” she said. “We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead.”
