VIDEO: Clinton campaign: We’re not going to say anything else tonight

They’re not conceding. Yet.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager John Podesta appeared on stage in New York to tell supporters to go home, that they would not be seeing the Democratic nominee for President until tomorrow (or, presumably, later this afternoon in Ireland).

This comes with Donald Trump just 22 Electoral College votes away from being named the next President of the United States.

“We can wait a little longer, can’t we? They’re still counting votes, and every vote should count. Several states are too close to call so we’re not going to have anything more to say tonight,” he told supporters at Clinton’s Election Night headquarters in New York City.

Across the city, Trump’s supporters were waiting for a victory speech.
