(crowd chanting) Was it all just a dream? ♪ This is my first song ♪ ♪ Take back my life song ♪ ♪ Prove I'm already strong ♪ It was the night before the election, 2016. Everything seemed to be going as planned. Amateurs and experts alike had already called the election months ago. There's not going to be a President Donald Trump. That's not going to happen. Donald Trump is not going to be President of the United States. Donald Trump will never be elected President of the United States. He's not going to be President. Is there a path to victory for Donald Trump at this point? No. Do you still think she has a 100% chance of winning the election? I do. I'm not sure the Republican Party is going to survive. I would like to introduce to you the next President of the United States, Mr. Henry Clinton. Thank you all, and thanks to Jay-Z and Beyoncé. And thanks to Chance the Rapper, and Jay Cole, and Big Sean. She had no idea who any of these rappers were, but it didn't matter. [CHANTING] The big day is finally here, and it's time to vote. A giddy nation awoke that morning to the news in The New York Times that Trump had only a 15% chance of winning. You know, growing up with a little girl, I never thought I could be President. It's becoming very real. Congrats, Hillary, our first woman President. Whoo, Hillary, all the way, all the way through the White House. I waited over an hour to vote. I'm so happy. In Rochester, New York, thousands put eye-voted stickers on the grave of suffragist Susan B. Anthony. This is the most important election that I have ever voted in. I got to vote for all but for President. [LAUGHTER] I don't make it to. [MUSIC PLAYING] Once the polls closed, before the votes were even counted, the champagne corks were popping at Hillary's victory party in New York City. This has a literal glass ceiling, a glass ceiling you're hoping to symbolically burst through tonight. Let's be one nation indivisible with a kick-ass President. [CHEERING] Meanwhile, just 17 blocks away-- [MUSIC PLAYING] It's a decidedly small venue, perhaps the smallest one I've ever seen for an event like this. --things were looking bad for the other candidate. The crowd was glum. GOP officials now fear that if Donald Trump loses by a landslide, he could take down the congressional majorities with it. Fox News seemed relieved that they wouldn't have to support this man for the next four years. I think Hillary's going to win. The betting odds on the presidential race are three to one in favor of Secretary Clinton. [MUSIC PLAYING] Look at all these wins. We're projecting for Hillary Clinton right now. She wins New Jersey with 14 electoral votes. Mrs. Clinton is also performing strongly on the East Coast, Massachusetts, Maryland-- --and Illinois with 20 electoral votes. Hillary Clinton projected the winner. No huge surprises thus far. [MUSIC PLAYING] Then something strange began to happen. Big news for the first time tonight. Really big news in the presidential race. We can project that Donald Trump will win the state of Ohio. Donald Trump will carry the state of North Carolina. And that is huge for Donald Trump. This is exactly what he needed to do. Donald Trump will carry the state of Florida. State of Wisconsin. He will win Wisconsin. Trump doing very well in Pennsylvania right now. There's a cliffhanger going on here in Michigan. 56% of the vote is in. Look at how close it is. Right now, Donald Trump is ahead. It's completely flipped now. To make matters worse, Fox News was using my name. Michael Moore, who knows white working class voters, has made movies about them, grew up in Michigan, has been saying all along to the Democrats, dismiss him at your own peril. And he said, I'm warning you, I know the people who live in my state. And I know how they think. And I know what their concerns are. [MUSIC PLAYING] Everybody should head home. You should get some sleep. We're not going to have anything more to say tonight. This is a Fox News election alert. Donald Trump is the president of the United States. [MUSIC PLAYING]
