NEW YORK — Hillary Clinton refused to address her election night party.

Instead, the Democratic nominee sent her campaign chair John Podesta in her place to give a message to the crowd that was waiting at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York Tuesday night.

“Several states are too close to call so we aren’t going to have anything more to say tonight,” Podesta told the crowd. “Everybody should head home and get some sleep. We’ll have more to say tomorrow.”

“I want every person in this hall, and across the country, to know that your voices and your enthusiasm means so much,” he continued.

“We are so proud of you, and we are so proud of her. She’s done an amazing job and she is not done yet. So thank you for being with her — she has always been with you.”

“Goodnight. We will be back we will have more to say. Let’s get those votes counted and let’s bring this home.”
