On this race for the white house, but certainly it generated all the headlines during these final days. And carl was talking about the color of what she was wearing. Color is, purple is also red and blue together. It is bipartisanship, and i think that that may have been what she was thinking about, if she had won. Yeah. Well, and also one of the suffragette colors as well. I wanted to mark the moment of whats happening in the room, as you did, wolf, shes thanking her supporters. Not just supporters, i just got a text from somebody who worked on a campaign and talked about what it wlik youre on a losing campaign and it is not just a personal disappointment. This friend of mine said its like a professional and a personal death, because its the death of a dream. You believe in this person so much that you give your life to their cause, the cause of them being elected for years, and thats what the people in that room are feel writings now. Right now. Just got a statement, george w. Bush. Father issued a statement, spoke on the phone with donald trump. A statement . George w. Bush. This morning i called donald trump and congratulated him as president of the United States of america. Laura and i wish the president elect, melania and the entire trump family all our very best as they take on an awesome responsibility and begin an exciting new chapter in their lives. We pray for the success of our country and the success of our new president. That statement from president george w. Bush. So all of the statements are coming in. You heard the House Speaker issue a very congratulatory statement about donald trump. You heard were going to hear momentarily, by the way, looking at live shots over there at the rose garden of the white house. President obama. Hes going to be making a statement as well. Hes going to be congratulating president elect trump, and obviously saying that during this transition process, the rest of november, december, january, until january 20th which is Inauguration Day here in the United States, he will Work Together with the Trump Transition Team led by new Jersey Governor Chris Christie to make sure there is a smooth transition of power. This is the way the dock kraesh democracy, the process works and president obama will address that when he speak as few moments from now. President obama took on such an extraordinary role in this campaign along with Michelle Obama in really speaking out and sort of being the moral authority after Donald Trumps comments on women, after the access hollywood clip a for him coming out it was deeply personal for him, when encouraging voters to get out here. This was about his legacy and preserving his legacy and he now has to pass on the torch to donald trump. Well hear it momentarily. From the president , who will walk out of the oval office right at the top of your screen. Walk down to the lectern in the rose garden and address the American People and indeed the world at this historic moment. David gerggergen, you wanted toe a statement . This is big indeed for barack obama. He has been focused and his legacy for some time and the two biggest the passage of the Affordable Care act socalled obama care and agreement with iran. On both, donald trump promised he would undo them and Hillary Clinton was going to be the one to preserve that legacy and now president obama must feel, i worked so hard. Got so far. And hes a president who is rated historically high as he leaves office, with over 50 approval rating. 54 . And yet this election was a repudiation of a lot of the things that he thought would transform the country, that he passed or signed as executive orders, or tried to do. Yes. And jeff zeleny is in new york over at the hotel. Hes been covering Hillary Clinton now during this twoyear ordeal for her, this campaign. Trying to reach the white house, which clearly is not happening. Jeff, tell our viewers what youre hearing and your reaction to what we heard from Hillary Clinton. Reporter wolf, as you heard gloria and dana talk how second clinton opened saying, im sorry. There are a lot of people saying im sorry to her. She was hugging a lot of them tightly going through that first row. Her pollsters, analysts, data directors. All feel they have let her down in some way, but you can see the tears in their eyes as she is hugging them, but, wolf, i was struck by a couple things she said. She said, look, we owe donald trump and open mind and the chance to lead. A message to her fellow democrats that give him a chance. Certainly a much different tone from the scorched Earth Campaign that this had become. Wolf, thinking back to that 2008 campaign quickly, she gave the speech to the National BuildingMuseum Talking about shattered ceilings. Talking at the end, i hope that day comes sooner than i think. The reality is, wolf, she will take her leave from public stage now. Shes 69 years old and will pass the torch on to someone else. The greatest disappointment of her life here, but she has a smile on her face, wolf. So many tears among the people shes hugging now. Do we even know, jeff, going into last night, we knew that they had prepared a victory speech for her. Do we even know if they were drafting this type of concession speech . Reporter were told they were drafting a speech on both sides. Just about in the final 24 hours of campaigning or so, aides told us she was preparing a speech, win or lose. We hear that from a lot of president ial candidates, other politicians that they are indeed. So i have no doubt there was a draft here, but, wolf, know one wa expecting her to have to deliver that. She wrote a lot of these words herself here including scripture, which is, of course, so personal to her. You saw her choking back those tears. Were waiting for the president of the United States now. Hes going to be addressing the American People in the rose garden at the white house. Well have live coverage of that coming up right after a very quick break. Welcome to inside politics. Im john king. Viewers in the United States and around the world, thanks for sharing your time on this momentous day. Looking at the rose garden. President obama about to come out and address the people and the world about the huge results here in the United States. Donald trump, republican, president elect winning a shocking victory over democrat Hillary Clinton. Look at map as we await president obama to come into the rose garden. Hillary clinton actually leads at this hour in the popular vote. Not done counting here in the United States yet, but Hillary Clinton actually leads in the popular vote, but look at the resounding electoral victory. Donald trump turning florida red, ohio red, pennsylvania red, looks like also michigan red, not final yet. Why is this significant . The obama victory four years ago. All the states obama won. Big heartland states, donald trump turning them red as he prepares to become president of the United States. And the former president called mr. Trump earlier, and Hillary Clinton offered her congratulations. I hope 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 that we did not win this election for the values we share and the vision we hold for our country. This is painful, and it will be for a long time, but i want you to remember this. Our campaign was never about one person or even one election. It was about the country we love, and about building an america thats hopeful, inclusive and bighearted. That was the democrat Hillary Clinton just moments ago offering her congratulations to dn donald trump talking how painful it was. More in a bit. Were awaiting president obamas remarks at the white house. He called donald trump earlier to offer congratulations and pledge his full cooperation with a ritual that defines the american experiment. Transiti transition, peacefully of power. And one 67 so many unimaginable moments now the reality of american politics. President obama sharing the oval office, a man who made his political brand questioning whether obama was born in the United States. Questioning whether he was even eligible to hold the job that trump now assumes in just 17 71 days. Described as too erratic to be commander in chief, tried to turn it around on a scorched campaign. Now its time for america to behind the wounds of division. We have to get together. To all republicans and democrats and independents across this nation, i say it is time for us to come together as one united people. I pledge to every skcitizen of r land that i will be president for all americans, and this is so important to me. For those who have chosen not to support me in the past, of which there were a few people, im reaching out to you for your guidance and your help so that we can Work Together and unify our great country. That was donald trump in the Early Morning hours. Youre looking at your screen. This is the day after here. Hillary clinton in new york city on the left of the screen still saying goodbye to staff and is a parties after her emotional remarks moments ago and on the right, president obama will be in the rose garden for an important part of this ritual. Jitters around the country and the world. President obama propositioning full cooperation in the transition with donald trump moments from now in the rose garden. A packed hour ahead. How trump made the political map and for from the critical transition ahead including global anxiety whether President Trump will keep the promises of candidate trump. Cnn malika henderson, and manu raju and Mary Katharine from the federalist. Awaiting the president of the United States. To me, the most i dont know the word for it not ironic. A bigger, better word. Donald trump made his name conservative and republican politics questioning weth ert man whos about to stand there and say in 71 days i will give him the keys to this house and cooperate with him fully in the meantime. Questioning whether he was even an american, whether he was eligible to be president. Moments ago, a poignant, emotional statement from Hillary Clinton. Who acknowledged openly how painful this is. Yeah. Said its going to take a while for her to get over this, and certainly emotional and the folks there who supported her and tried to help her break that highest, hardest glass ceiling. Emotional there, too. What she said and i think paired with what obama is going to say will be so important for so Many Americans who believed in them, believed in obamaism, believed in a different kind of america in many ways than donald trump talked about. Obama staked his legacy. Spent so much time in the states, pennsylvania, ohio, north carolina. He really wanted to see Hillary Clinton win. And that didnt happen. I think the most amazing thing about this is its been said so many times. This was not just a regular, ordinary election. Both Hillary Clinton and barack obama have spent the last months not just saying shes a better choice, but saying donald trump is temperamentally unfit. Patently unqualified. Somebody you cannot trust with a nuclear codes. They, this was not a subtle message about trump. This was not, we have disagreements over exactly how health care should be done. And six in ten americans agreed with that. Agreed, questioned his temperament, was not qualified. Yet the mood for change, the disgust with this town and the political establishment and status quo was so great, even though many trump voters had profound doubts about donald trump his temperament, character, ability to be commander in chief and leader of the free world voted for him. They did. Even College Educated white voters, we won with that group, better than democrats of the past. And i am interested what the next two to four years are going to be like with a trump presidency, and with a Republican Congress. The next 70 days in 70 day, but what is the trump agenda looking like . How close does he work with the Republican Congress . Are democrats going to work with him to get things through the congress, and i think those are all serious and open questions, exactly how he pursues this. But one thing that is under threat right now is president obamas signature legacy item, obama care. They can pass that through the budget process with a simple majority in the senate to repeal it, but dont have a plan to replace it yet. If they can get 60 votes, but still it shows you obamas legacy is in danger. One of a long list of things well discuss ahead. And the Republican Congress not going along with him in so many things with a pen donald trump can reverse orders on climate change, cuban policy, international policy. The question, Mary Katharine, waiting the democratic president to come out. I believe thats staff. Well get a warning when the president comes out to speak there. The republican speak of the house, who days ago did not want to speak Donald Trumps name. Coming out this morning and grating donald trump given credit where credit is due. Republicans didnt lose as many seats as expected and kept a senate majority. A giant question mark and speaker ryan saying, thank you, donald trump. A new word in 2016, adjective and verb in the future for the strangest possible thing that could happen and also want to say to get this off my chest people were so wrong. If you its like oprahs favorite things being wrong. You were wrong. You were wrong, and you were wrong. Everybody. So, like everybody. Thats one of the many lessons to be learned. Number one, this town is clearly out of touch. Including the media and the political establishment. Out of touch with america. Washington is not america. The thinganimated, people were joesing f ijonesing change, and in the end didnt care. One minute away from the president of the United States. As much as we question can donald trump pass his agenda, which donald trump do we cigarette evolved self times and evolved in the last decade dramatically. Many, many questions. We should celebrate a ritual of peaceful transformation. Donald trump opponent con seepeded the race, the democratic president of the United States, no loss of love, listen to president obama, and here was Hillary Clinton moments ago saying, donald trump is my president now. Donald trump is going to be our president. We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead. Break out of secretary clinton. You see the current president of the United States, barack obama, and Vice President joe biden, they leave office in 17 d71 day. Lets listen. Yesterday before books were tallied i shot a video some of you may have seen in which i said to the American People, regardless of which side you were on in the election, regardless of whether your candidate won or lost, the sun would come up in the morning, and that is one bit of prognosticating that actually came true. The sun is up, and i know everybody had a long night. I did as well. I had a chance to talk to president elect trump last night, about 3 30 in the morning i think it was, to congratulate him on winning the election, and i had a chance to invite him to come to the white house tomorrow to talk about making sure that there is a Successful Transition between our presidencies. Now, it is no secret that the president elect and i have some pretty significant differences. But, remember, eight years ago president bush and i had some pretty significant differences. But president bushs team could not have been more professional or more gracious in making sure we had a smooth transition so that we could hit the ground running. And one thing you realize quickly in this job is that the presidency and the vice presidency is bigger than any of us. So i have instructed my team to follow the example that president bushs team set eight years ago and work as hard as we can to make sure that this is a Successful Transition for the president elect. Because we are now all rooting for a success and uniting and leading the country. A peaceful transition of power is one of the hallmarks of our democracy. And over the next few months we are going to show that to the world. I also had a chance last night to speak with secretary clinton and i just had a chance to hear her remarks. I could not be prouder of her. She has lived an extraordinary life of public service. She was a great first lady. She was an outstanding senator for the state of new york. And she could not have been a better secretary of state. Im proud of her. A lot of americans look up to her. Her candidacy and nomination was historic and sends a message to our daughters all across the country, that they can achieve at the highest levels of politics. And i am absolutely confident that she and president clinton will continue to do great work for people here in the United States and all around the world. Now, everybody is sad when their side loses an election, but the day after we have to remember that were actually all on one team. This is an intr
