Clinton Concession Rundown: Top Quotes and Twitter Reactions

Hillary Clinton delivered her concession speech to President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday, thanking and encouraging her supporters and congratulating the billionaire businessman.

"I hope that he will be a successful president," Clinton said, during her remarks, later going on to say, "Donald Trump is going to be our president. We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead."

Here are some other quotes from Clinton's remarks, as transcribed by Vox:

"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 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 to remember this: Our campaign was never about one person or one election."

"Our constitutional democracy demands our participation, not just every four years, but all the time, so lets do all we can to keep advancing the causes and values we all hold dear."

"Our responsibility as citizens is to keep doing our part to build that better, stronger, fairer America that we seek, and I know you will."

"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."

"Finally, I am so grateful for our country and for all it has given to me. I count my blessings every single day that I am an American and I still believe as deeply as I ever have that if we stand together and work together with respect for our differences, strength in our convictions and love for this nation, our best days are still ahead of us."

Twitter reaction to Clinton's speech was mostly positive, drawing praise both from those who agree and disagree with her.

"Fighting for what's right is worth it." Truly an eloquent concession speech on unifying and working together by Hilary Clinton.

A remarkable, graceful concession from Clinton. Candidate often find their finest rhetoric in the key of loss.

Some Twitter users expressed criticism and commented about Clinton's use of scripture in her speech.

It blows my mind how both Kaine and Clinton have quoted the Bible in the concession speech, yet support abortion and homosexuality

CLINTON: sorry, but her concession speech is nauseating & sycophantic.

She kills babies & then quotes Scripture. Save the tears for prison
