US President-elect Donald Trump has called for national unity in a address to mark the Thanksgiving holiday.
The time had come, he explained, “to start to heal our divisions” but added that “tensions simply do not recover overnight”.
Before he declared the appointment of two women to his cabinet, both of whom had been critical of him.
On Wednesday, Mr Trump declared while Betsy DeVos continues to be selected to be secretary of education, that South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley was his pick for US ambassador to the United Nations.
The appointments will have to be accepted by the Republican-controlled Senate.
“She’ll be an excellent leader representing us on the planet stage,” he added.
Mrs Haley said she was “transferred” to take the duty and also would stay on as South Carolina governor, pending her congressional confirmation.
Through the Republican primaries, she supported then and Florida Senator Marco Rubio Texas Senator Ted Cruz.
Mrs Haley also firmly assaulted Mr Trump’s suggestion to prohibit Muslim immigrants, describing it as “unAmerican”.
It’s the fifth time the election has been lost by the victor of the popular vote.
In 2000, Democrat Al Gore’s closing lead over George W Bush, who won the election following a legal challenge that is drawn-out, was . almost 544,000
By giving Mr Bush a triumph in the disputed state of Florida, the Supreme Court finally determined that election.
In 2013, big tallies were scored by Mrs Clinton in states like California but Mr Trump won most of the so called swing states, which ultimately determine the result of elections.
Candidates who win with a tiny allowance in bunches of states over ones that win with a landslide in simply several are favoured by the electoral college system.
Several data specialists and professors, attorneys is also attempting to convince the Clinton team to join their attempt to research the outcomes in three states to assess there was no foreign computer hacking that falsified the result.
Ms Clinton performed worse in counties that relied when compared with paper ballots and optical scanners they’re interested.
But her campaign hasn’t indicated any interest in joining a fight to get a recount.
Jill Stein, the Green party nominee, is raising capital to request a recount in identical states – Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, all won by Mr Trump.
