In her speech, Obama highlighted how close the 2016 election was between President Donald Trump and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. She said that the voters "were fed up". She further said, "Maybe they thought the outcome wouldn’t be close. Maybe the barriers felt too steep. Whatever the reason, in the end, those choices sent someone to the Oval Office who lost the national popular vote by nearly 3,000,000 votes."
