President-elect Trump said he received a call from the husband of his general election rival, former President Bill Clinton, who told him that his campaign was "one of the most amazing he's ever seen."

Trump said Bill Clinton called him after he spoke to Hillary Clinton, who over the phone conceded the 2016 presidential race early Wednesday when Trump passed the 270 Electoral College threshold, effectively handing him victory.

"He couldn't have been more gracious," Trump said in a "60 Minutes" snippet released Friday evening on CBS, his first interview since winning the election. Trump added that Bill Clinton "said it was an amazing run. One of the most amazing he's ever seen. He was very, very, really, very nice."

When asked by CBS' Lesley Stahl if he would call Bill Clinton for advice as president, because he already has said he would look to President Obama for help, Trump seemed to consider the idea.

"Well, he's a very talented guy, I mean, this is a very talented family. Certainly, I would certainly think about that," Trump said.

Trump also described his "lovely call" from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

"So, Hillary called, and it was a lovely call, and it was a tough call for her, I mean, I can imagine," Trump said. "Tougher for her than it would have been for me. I mean, for me, it would have been very, very difficult. She couldn't have been nicer. She just said, 'Congratulations, Donald, well done.' And I said, 'I want to thank you very much, you were a great competitor.'"

"She is very strong and very smart," Trump added.

The full interview will air Sunday evening on CBS.
