The head of Democrats Abroad Israel says they are still “holding on” to hopes of a Clinton victory.

“We’re still holding on, we’re still holding on,” Tali Zinger says, pointing to the remaining states and counties are “too close to call.”

“We’re still optimistic,” she adds, though “there is a very different tone than there was just a few hours ago. We’re still waiting and seeing. It’s not over till it’s over.”

“Sure we’re surprised,” she says of the results trickling in. “We expected this to be called when the East Coast polls were in and Florida would go to Hillary and we’d wrap this up. And that obviously didn’t happen. So we’re seeing, we’re still hopeful… it hasn’t been called yet, and we’re still holding on.”
