Hillary Clinton Sent the USA's Top Tweet of 2016 — and It's Still Racking Up Favorites

With 2016 finally coming to a close (cue the sighs of relief), Twitter is looking back at the biggest trends that took over the social media platform this year. Spoiler alert: the presidential election was at the top of the list, as all eyes were on Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump's contentious battle for the White House. Though Trump reigned victorious in the election, Clinton dominated the Twittersphere with her inspiring words of wisdom and on-point remarks about her opponent.

So, what was Clinton's top Twitter moment of the year? It's no surprise that this tweet took the crown, garnering more than 636,000 retweets and more than 1 million favorites since it was posted on Nov. 9, 2016.

This was the top retweeted post in the US this year and the third most retweeted post among all countries, according to Twitter. A direct quote from Clinton's moving concession speech, this tweet strongly resonated (and still resonates) with women everywhere, as the post continues to accumulate retweets to this day. The tweet provided a much-needed uplifting message for Americans who had pinned their hopes on a Clinton win and clearly touched millions not just here in the US, but around the world.
