Hillary Clinton on Wednesday accepted her defeat in the US Presidential election, saying she hopes Donald Trump will be a successful President for all Americans and that the "deeply divided" nation owes him "an open mind and the chance to lead." "This is not the outcome we wanted or we worked so hard for. And I'm sorry that we didn't win this election for the values we share and for the vision we hold for our country," Clinton said as she took the podium to concede the closely-fought elections.
