Raleigh, North Carolina (CNN)Hillary Clinton finished out her 19-month presidential campaign with an emotional final rally in North Carolina that began after it had already become Election Day on the East Coast, declaring a campaign trail mantra: "love trumps hate."
Marking the end of a four-state, whirlwind last day on the stump, the Democratic nominee took the stage in Raleigh with her husband, Bill Clinton, their daughter, Chelsea, as well as pop stars Lady Gaga and Jon Bon Jovi, to deliver her closing message.
Donald Trump reflects on his bid: 'It's been some campaign' "We don't have to accept a dark and divisive vision for America," she said. "Tomorrow you can vote for a hopeful, inclusive, big-hearted America. Our core values are being tested in this election." Clinton even urged voters that confront long lines on Election Day: "Please wait." "In early voting, we have had people waiting in line for two and three hours," she said. "And there have been reporters and others going up and down the line asking people, all kinds of Americans, not one type, all types, 'Why are you here?' 'Because my future depends on it,' they say." Several hours later, campaigning in Allendale, Michigan, just outside of Grand Rapids, Clinton stressed that the support she has received from Republicans across the aisle signals "why this election is so different." "It's why so many Republicans have spoken out to endorse me and support me," Clinton said, adding that some Republicans "have taken very courageous stands against the nominee of their own party." "Because they believe that we must put country ahead of party," she said.

Once again painting Trump's vision as "pessimistic" and dark, the Democratic nominee said she simply doesn't see the country through her opponent's lens. "People look at us with yearning," Clinton said. "We are already great, but we can be greater. And we will be greater." At her final rally, Clinton evoked Bon Jovi's famous single, "Livin' On a Prayer," to concede that there was not much more she could do. "Between now and the time the poll closes tomorrow, we are going to be livin' on a prayer!" she said.
