It is entirely doubtful that anyone with a modicum of political knowledge doesn’t already know this. However, that said, a new report from The Hill outlines a phone call between President Obama and candidate Hillary Clinton urging her to concede:

(Via The Hill) […] “You need to concede,” Obama told his former secretary of State as she, her family, and her top aides continued to watch results trickle in from the key Rust Belt states of Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
