Good afternoon, everyone. Good afternoon, good afternoon.

Thank you all. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

So let me say ... and I love you back, and I love you back.

So let me say: my heart is full today.

My heart is full today, full of gratitude for the trust you have placed in me, full of love for our country and full of resolve.

The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for, but hear me when I say, hear me when I say, the light of America’s promise will always burn bright as long as we never give up and as long as we keep fighting.

To my beloved Doug and our family, I love you so very much. You.

To President Biden and Dr Biden, thank you for your faith and support.

To Governor Walz and the Walls family, I know your service to our nation will continue and to my extraordinary team, to the volunteers who gave so much of themselves to the poll workers and the local election officials: I thank you. I thank you all.

Look. I am so proud of the race we ran and the way we ran it. Over the 107 days of this campaign, we have been intentional about building community and building coalitions, bringing people together from every walk of life and background, united by the love of country with enthusiasm and joy in our fight for America’s Future.

And we did it with the knowledge that we all have so much more in common than what separates us.

Now, I know folks are feeling and experiencing a range of emotions right now. I get it, but we must accept the results of this election.

Earlier today, I spoke with president-elect Trump and congratulated him on his victory. I also told him that we will help him and his team with their transition and that we will engage in a peaceful transfer of power.

A fundamental principle of American democracy is that when we lose an election, we accept the results. That principle, as much as any other, distinguishes democracy from monarchy or tyranny, and anyone who seeks public trust must honour it.

At the same time, in our nation, we owe loyalty not to a president or a party but to the Constitution of the United States and loyalty to our conscience and to our God.

My allegiance to all three is why I am here to say, that while I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fuelled this campaign, the fight, the fight for freedom. I’ve done it yet, for opportunity, for fairness and the dignity of all people a fight for the ideals at the heart of our nation, the ideals that reflect America at our best. That is a fight I will never give up.

I will never give up the fight for a future where Americans can pursue their dreams, ambitions and aspirations, where the women of America have the freedom to make decisions about their own bodies and not have their government telling them what to do.

We will never give up the fight to protect our schools and our streets from gun violence in America.

We will never give up the fight for our democracy, for the rule of law, for equal justice and for the sacred idea that every one of us, no matter who we are or where we start out, has certain fundamental rights and freedoms that must be respected and upheld.

We will continue to wage this fight in the voting booth, in the courts and in the public square, and we will also wage it in quieter ways, in how we live our lives, by treating one another with kindness and respect, by looking in the face of a stranger and seeing a neighbour, by always using our strength to lift people up to fight for the dignity that all people deserve.

So what happened with the election cheating Trump was talking about? Did they get to the bottom of it?

Worse thing is that the lower income households will be affected the most, and are precisely who voted for it. Sad day for America indeed

This speech was definitely in sharp contrast to the one that Trump gave in 2020...<checks notes>...oops. I guess we're still waiting for that.
