The 2016 Democratic presidential nominee said she woke up on Election Day expecting to win. Clinton told the gathering that she was responsible for every decision the campaign made, though she did not believe they caused her surprise loss. She attributed that to several things, including alleged Russian interference in the election and "weaponizing" stolen information and fake news. She also pointed a finger at the Democrats for falling behind the GOP in using technology and data to target voters, the media for covering her email controversy "like it was Pearl Harbor," misogyny and the high expectations many had for her candidacy.
