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.

This is not the outcome we wanted or we worked so hard for, and I am sorry we did not win this election for the values we share and the vision we hold for our country. But I feel pride and gratitude for this wonderful campaign that we build together. This vast, diverse, creative, unruly, energized campaign.

You represent the best of America, and being your candidate has been the greatest honors of my life. I know how disappointed you feel, because I feel it too. And so do tens of millions of Americans who invested their hopes and dreams in this effort. This is painful, and it will be for a long time. But I want you remember this our campaign was never about one person, or even one election. It was about the country we love and building an America that is hopeful,inclusive and big-hearted. We have seen that our nation is more deeply divided than we thought, then we thought. But I still believe in America, and I always will. And if you do, then we must accept this result and then look to the future.

Donald Trump is going to be our president. We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead. Our constitutional democracy enshrines the peaceful transfer of power. We don’t just respect that. We cherish it. It also enshrines other things, the rule of law. The principle we are all equal in rights and dignity; freedom of worship and expression. We respect and cherish these values, too, and we must defend them.

Let me add: our constitutional democracy demands our participation, not just every four years, but all the time. So let’s do all we can to keep advancing the causes and values we all hold dear.
