ABC News(NEW YORK) — President-elect Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton had a “very gracious exchange” early Wednesday morning after election results showed the Republican with enough electoral votes to win the presidency, Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said.

Conway said she received a call from Clinton aide Huma Abedin around the time Trump and his entourage arrived at their election night party at a New York City Hilton. Conway then handed the phone to Trump.

 “They had a very gracious exchange,” Conway said today on Good Morning America. “As I understand it, Secretary Clinton commended Donald Trump on a hard-fought race and congratulated him for his victory and he told Secretary Clinton she’s very smart, very tough, had waged a tremendous campaign.

“He respects her and her family,” Conway said Trump told Clinton. “It was a very pleasant exchange.”

Conway said Trump also spoke with President Obama overnight.

“We look very much forward to Mr. Trump and President Obama, Secretary Clinton, many, many other leaders in this country coming together to help unify and heal the country,” Conway said.

Conway described the feeling of winning an upset victory over Clinton as “absolutely euphoric.”

“This really was a campaign for the people and they have spoken. They want to go in a new and different direction,” Conway said. “They want different leadership.

“Mr. Trump and Governor Pence did a fabulous job taking their case directly to the people,” she added. “We faced an avalanche of criticism, naysayers every single day and I’m just so proud that the people overcame that. This is really a victory for them.”
