The protests come as Donald Trump heads to the White House today to meet with President Obama in the Oval Office. On Wednesday morning, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton gave a concession speech in the New Yorker Hotel’s Grand Ballroom in New York City, during which she called her defeat painful, but urged a peaceful transition of power. Clinton is leading the popular vote by hundreds of thousands of ballots, but she lost the electoral college.

Hillary Clinton: “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 even one election. Donald Trump is going to be our president. We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead. Our constitutional democracy enshrines the peaceful transfer of power.”
