Photo Gallery Hillary Would Have Been 'Fabulous'
In an interview six months after the election, Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, John Podesta, discusses the night of his candidate's defeat, the mistakes made on the trail and Donald Trump, who he says is "unfit and unqualified" to serve as president.
John Podesta served as chairman of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. "The fact that we let Donald Trump have the keys to the White House and the codes to the nuclear football is soul-crushing, and a heavy burden to everyone who had a leadership role in our campaign," Podesta told SPIEGEL in an interview.
