And with so much going on, it's tough to keep up.

Take a look at seven images that capture key moments from this historic week in America:

DAY 1: TRUMP WINS

DAY 2: CLINTON CONCEDES

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called Trump to concede on election night, but she didn't take the stage to speak to her supporters until the next day . Aides throughout the New York hotel ballroom cried during her remarks . Clinton told them not to give up. "I know we have still not shattered that highest and hardest glass ceiling," she said, "but someday, someone will, and hopefully sooner than we might think right now."

DAY 3: WHITE HOUSE VISIT

There's no love lost between President Barack Obama and his soon-to-be successor, but they put their differences aside to meet in the White House . It was a dizzying sight for anyone who's followed the sharp jabs they threw at each other on the campaign trail and Trump's years of birther claims . After their White House meeting, Trump called Obama a "very good man" and said he would seek his counsel in the future. Obama said he wanted Trump to succeed and would do everything he could to ensure a smooth transition.

DAY 4: PROTESTS HEAT UP

While Obama and Trump were honoring long-held rituals of transferring power in Washington, some people on streets across the United States were less willing to accept the election's outcome. Protests flared in cities and college towns across the US, with fed-up demonstrators chanting that Trump isn't their president . Tensions boiled over at a protest in Portland, Oregon, which police described as a riot after vandals threw objects at officers and damaged cars. But most demonstrations were largely peaceful.

DAY 5: A SOMBER CHORD

After weeks of skits mocking the presidential candidates, "Saturday Night Live" stunned audiences with a solemn opening for its first episode since the election. Kate McKinnon, dressed as Clinton in a cream pantsuit, played the piano as she sang Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah." Her performance of the beloved song -- just days after Cohen's death -- struck a chord with viewers mourning the singer-songwriter and seeking solace after the bruising election.
