Governor Mike Pence stepped out onto the stage with his family at about 11:45 PM PST, shortly after MSNBC reported that Clinton called Trump to concede the election. Pence said, "I come to this moment deeply humbled."

Trump took the stage immediately after. He appeared filled with emotion as supporters chanted, "USA, USA!"

"Hillary has worked very long and very hard over a long period of time and we owe her a major debt of gratitude for her service to our country. I mean that very seriously. To all Democrats and Republicans across this nation I say that it is time for us to come together as one united people.
