President Barack Obama gave the nation a pep talk on a tense Election Night in a video that noted no matter the outcome of the presidential race, "the sun will rise in the morning."
Obama recorded the nearly 2-minute video for Buzzfeed News.
"Let’s face it: This has been an exhausting, stressful, and sometimes downright weird election for all of us," Obama said.
"While we’ve certainly seen some new things this time around, what isn’t new is that our democracy has always been rowdy and raucous. We’ve been through tough and divisive elections before and we’ve always come out stronger for it."
He then went on to urge Americans to stay engaged in the political process – and to show kindness and respect to one another.
"No matter what happens, the sun will rise in the morning, and America will still be the greatest nation on Earth," he said.
