I am enormously grateful to those who came out because you asked yourselves who will be the best candidate, who is ready to lead our country.
Everyone had a chance to vote. Nearly 18 million of you cast your vote for our campaign. We carried the popular vote with more votes than any candidate in presidential history. We won together the swing states necesary to get to 270 electoral votes.
You wanted a leader who will stand up for our values, a country who will count every single vote.
While this primary was long I am so proud we stayed the course together.
Because we stood our ground every citizen had a chance to vote, a record 35 million people.
I am committed to working to take back the White House in November.
None of you are invisible to me. I will keep standing for you and working for you.
People are asking: What does Hillary want. I want what I've always worked for: to end the war, turn the economy around, health care for everyone and I want the 18 million who voted for me to be respected and no longer treated as invisible.
I have an old-fashioned notion that public service is about helping people. This nation has given me every opportunity and I want it for every American.
I want to restore America's leadership in the world.
People are shouting Denver.
There were days when I had the energy to fight for all of us and when I didn't I leaned on you.
So many people said this race was over months ago and you brought me back every time.
I will carry your stories with me.
Where do we go from here? This has been a long campaign and I will be making no decisions tonight.
But, this has always been your campaign, so to the 18 million who voted for me, I want to hear from you. Go to HillaryClinton.com and tell me.
I will be meeting with party leaders and supporters and determining the best way to proceed.
More thanks to everyone. I am honored and humbled by your support.
