AS democrats weep many are asking ‘where is Hillary Clinton?’.
The candidate has failed to publicly accept defeat and thank her supporters in the hours since it was announced that Donald Trump would be the next inhabitant of the White House.
The hashtag #whereishillary is being used as voters and pundits question why she has not appeared.
Just after 7am this morning Hillary privately called Donald Trump to concede – shortly after sending her campaign chief out to tell supporters “It’s not over”.
John Podesta told an emotional crowd at Manhattan’s Javits Center that she would not emerge until every vote is counted.
It is conventional for the conceding candidate to speak publicly before the winner makes their victory speech.
However after just a private phone call from the Democrat Trump told supporters he would be a “president for all Americans” shortly before 8am.
Social media users have been asking where the candidate is and suggesting double standards.
One user said: “Imagine the outrage if Trump refused to publicly concede.”
Others felt the failure to appear was an insult to her supporters who have campaigned in the build up to the vote.
