Summary "I hope that he will be a successful president for all Americans," hoped Clinton

NEW YORK (AFP) - Hillary Clinton vowed Wednesday to work with American President-elect Donald Trump while saying that the polls result showed that the country was more divided than it was thought to be.

Clinton urged fellow Democrats to allow Trump 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."
