Hillary Clinton was the former and 67th United States Secretary of State, wife of former US President Bill Clinton. In this year's 2016 election, she tried her luck again to be the next and America's first lady President. But to her dismay, Republican rival Donald Trump won the presidential election. Yet even if she already lost the battle, the Democratic candidate is still winning the popular vote against the new president of United States of America.

According to ABC News, the popular vote gap between the two candidates is still increasing. As of Saturday, Hillary Clinton's popular vote count was at 63,390,669 while Donald Trump stands at 61,820,845. The gap between the two is approximately 1.5 million, in which Hillary Clinton got 48% of the votes while Trump got 47%. These figures are from a report by the Associated Press.

In another report from CNN, Clinton is one of the presidential candidates who won the popular vote but lost the election. Along with her is Al Gore (rival of former President George W. Bush) who also lost the presidential election but won the popular vote, and other presidential candidates from the 19th century.

The Electoral College is one of the main reasons why Clinton did not win the election. Trump won in Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, as well as Southern and Midwestern states, and these places are enough for him to win the election.

Hillary Clinton concedes from the election and admits her defeat. She even called President-elect Donald Trump to congratulate him in a polite and humble manner. But Clinton's supporters were still in shock about her unexpected defeat. However, many people still admire and believe in her; it was very clear that she was loved by many. One of the proof is the popular vote, as mentioned, which is still increasing and the gap continues to expand.
