What is Hilary Clinton Up To Now?

After the Election, all attention was paid to the outcome of the election, including the “winner”, now presidential elect Donald Trump. All eyes were on him- what he was up to since his big win, what he plans on doing in his first few weeks of being president, and so forth. Hilary is the “loser” of the election, and I feel as if not enough attention is being paid to her. Losing an election as big as this one is just as important as winning it. She went through just as much as Trump did, if not more, and went through the same stressful processes. Hilary deserves to be looked at with respect and admiration even for losing the election.

            Hilary’s concession speech was one for the books. She did two things out of the ordinary, that no ex-presidential candidate had done before in a concession speech. She wore purple instead of the traditional red, clearly steering away from American tradition, but sending a message that she can accept defeat. She also apologized to ger supports. In her speech Clinton says: “I’m sorry that we did not win this election for the values we share and the vision we hold for our country […] I know how disappointed you feel, because I feel it too,” she added.

            Another thing Hilary Clinton has been up to; hiking! Not long ago, a New York mom who happened to be a heartbroken supporter, coincidentally met Clinton while on a hike. This was the first sighting of Hilary and Bill out and about after losing the presidential election. “I got to hug her and talk to her and tell her that one of my most proudest moments as a mother was taking [her daughter] Phoebe with me to vote for her,” says New York mom. This seems to be a rewarding experience for both of them, because they each got to support each other after what seems to not only be a loss for Clinton but supporters country wide.
