Donald Trump's win last night left many Americans stunned.
Hillary Clinton did not deliver a concession speech last night, but instead John Podesto, the chairman of the Clinton campaign, addressed her supporters. Podesto told her supporters that they were waiting to get a full count. By the time Trump was announced as the President-elect, he confirmed that Clinton had called him to congratulate him on his win.
Clinton will be speaking from New York after losing the election.
Watch her speech live below.
