Hillary Clinton, the defeated candidate for US president, has pledged to work with president-elect Donald Trump to unite a divided nation in an emotional concession speech.

With a row of American flags in the background, the Democratic nominee told supporters that her loss was painful “and it will be for a long time,” and that she had offered to work with Trump as he prepares to begin his four-year term on January 20.

“Last night I congratulated Donald Trump and offered to work with him on behalf of our country,” Clinton said in New York before noon on Wednesday, joined by her husband, former President Bill Clinton and daughter Chelsea.

I hope he will be a successful president for all Americans.”says Hillary Clinton

After the Republican Trump’s stunning upset of the heavily favoured Democrat Clinton, Democratic President Barack Obama and leading figures in the Republican Party who had struggled to make peace with Trump all vowed to move past the ugliness of an angry and sometimes personal campaign to seek common ground.

Clinton said the United States was “more deeply divided than we thought,” telling her supporters they must accept the outcome of the election.

“I hope he will be a successful president for all Americans. This is not the outcome we wanted or we worked so hard for, but I believe in Americans,” she said. “We owe him an open mind and a chance to lead.”

Hillary Clinton said that the US had not “shattered that highest and hardest ceiling,” referring to the fact that, if elected, she would have become the first female president in the nation’s history.

“Someday, somebody will,” she said.
