Last night, I congratulated Donald Trump and offered to

work with him on behalf of our country.

I hope that he will be a successful

president for all Americans.

I feel pride and gratitude

for this wonderful campaign that we built together.

This vast, diverse, creative,

unruly, energized campaign.

You represent the best of America and being your

candidate has been one of the greatest honours of my life.

And, to the young people in particular, I hope you will

hear this: I have, as Tim said, spent my

entire adult life fighting for what I believe in.

I've had successes and I've had setbacks.

Sometimes really painful ones.

Many of you are at the beginning of your

professional, public and political careers.

You will have successes and setbacks too.

This loss hurts but please

never stop believing that fighting for

what's right is worth it.

And, to all the women, and especially the young women,

who put their faith in this campaign and

in me, I want you to know that nothing has

made me prouder than to be your champion.

I know we have still not shattered that

highest hardest glass ceiling,

but, someday, someone will. And hopefully,

sooner than we might think right now.

And, to all the little girls who are watching this,

never doubt that you are valuable and

powerful and deserving of every chance

and opportunity in the world to pursue

and achieve your own dreams.
