Hillary Clinton's undelivered 2016 victory speech spoke directly to Trump supporters: 'I will always strive to be a President for all Americans'

• A new book includes the full text of Hillary Clinton's prepared victory speech in the 2016 election.
• Speechwriter Jeff Nussbaum's "Undelivered" includes details about several never-delivered remarks.

In a pre-written victory speech that she never got to deliver, 2016 presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton planned on reaching out to Trump supporters in an attempt to bring them into the fold of her new administration, according to a new book.

In "Undelivered: The Never-Heard Speeches That Would Have Rewritten History," speechwriter Jeff Nussbaum compiles and remarks upon several famous and infamous speeches that were prepared but never heard — including the victory speech Clinton planned on giving from New York City on the night of November 8, 2016.

Instead, the former secretary of state was forced to deliver a concession speech after former President Donald Trump won the Electoral College 304 to 227.

But it was Clinton's victory speech — not the concession — that her campaign and advisers had worked on for days, parsing phrases and considering the historical implications of the words which were to be spoken by America's first would-be female president.

The full text of that speech is published for the first time in Nussbaum's book, which is on sale Tuesday. Nussbaum's "Undelivered" includes several additional never-before-heard speeches, including remarks from former Rep. John Lewis at the March on Washington in 1963 and former President Richard Nixon's refusal to resign in 1974.

Despite the unprecedented and contentious nature of the 2016 presidential race, Clinton planned on extending an olive branch to Trump supporters in her speech, commending them for participating in the election and showing their "faith in democracy."

"Many of us are rejoicing in the outcome. Some of us are not," Clinton would have said, according to Nussbaum. "It's never easy to be on the losing side of an election. Believe me, I know that first-hand."

Clinton had previously lost a presidential primary to former President Barack Obama in 2008.

"We debate and argue, and sometimes it gets heated, but in the end, we all love our country," the speech continued. "Now we owe it to America and each other to strive for common ground and common purpose."

The 2,200-word speech would also mention Trump by name, according to Nussbaum.

"And to Donald Trump — it's no secret that he and I don't see the world the same way, and in this campaign we weren't shy about airing our differences," Clinton would have said. "But he fought relentlessly right up until the finish, and we wish him and his family well."

Throughout the rest of her speech, Clinton planned on talking about welcoming immigrants, respecting women, and believing science, according to Nussbaum. She also would have invoked her mother, whom she often referenced in campaign speeches.

"I dream of going up to her ... and saying 'look at me...' as hard as it might be to imagine, your daughter will grow up and become the president of the United States," Clinton would have said.

Her eventual concession speech ended up including some language taken from her prepared victory remarks, Nussbaum reported, including discussion of bringing Americans of all gender, ability, and identity together, despite the outcome of the election.

In the early hours of November 9, 2016, it wasn't Clinton's victorious voice that Americans heard from their televisions, but Trump's. He, too, urged all Americans to come together and "bind the wounds of division." He also commended Clinton on the culmination of her campaign.

"I mean, she fought very hard," Trump said. "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."

Trump's delivered victory speech and Clinton's prepared remarks both included the same pledge: to be a "President for all Americans."
