On election night, John Podesta told Hillary Clinton’s supporters the election wasn’t over so please go home. At almost the same time, Clinton evidently called President-elect Trump to concede the race.

At the time, it struck me as a rather rude gesture to the people who had come out that night to support her. Some people suggested it was because she didn’t have a concession speech ready, but there were plenty of reports from earlier that day that she did.
