Hillary Clinton on Friday said her presidency will be more difficult both because of her role as the first woman to hold the office and because of the viciousness of her race with Donald Trump.

“I know this is the hardest job in the world,” Clinton told Anjali “Queen B” of WBTP 95.7 FM The Beat in Tampa. “I think being the first woman to do this job will require even greater effort on my part because I want to be the president for everybody.”

“I really regret how divisive this campaign has been,” she added, hitting Republican nominee Donald Trump for “hurtful” rhetoric. “I’ve got to figure out how we heal these divides.”Clinton typically talks about her presidency in "if-I-win" hypothetical terms, but she repeatedly skipped that hedge Friday.

Her comments come two days after a raucous debate in Las Vegas in which Clinton called Trump a “puppet” for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and Trump declared Clinton “such a nasty woman.” And just Thursday night Trump was booed at a charity dinner in New York where both candidates took place in the tradition of “roasting” each other, with many in the buttoned-up audience thinking Trump went too far in his attacks on Clinton.

Clinton also used the interview to call on African-American listeners to vote, touting her work with President Barack Obama and praising the Black Lives Matter movement.

“I think they’ve played a very constructive role in helping us all to face up to the work that we need to do to confront systemic racism in America,” she said.
