Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is now doing the media rounds to help promote What Happened, her new book that details her shocking defeat in the 2016 presidential election. Her first stop on this tour of talk and news shows was an interview with Jane Pauley for CBS Sunday Morning.
Obviously, since Clinton hasn’t really appeared on TV since losing to Donald Trump, Pauley wanted to know about her Election Night phone call to the current president and how she handled the loss that evening.
The ex-First Lady pointed out that as the night wore on, she began to realize that “it’s not going to work” and that she wasn’t going to win. She also noted that she called then-President Obama because she felt she had “let everybody down.”
As for the following morning, when she addressed the nation, she admitted that she was unprepared at first because she was fully expecting to come out victorious.
“I had not drafted a concession speech,” she told Pauley. “I had been working on a victory speech.”
The day after Election Day, Clinton delivered an address where she told her followers she was sorry they didn’t win but that the best days were still ahead.
