President-elect Donald Trump's campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, says President Barack Obama called Trump after his victory. Conway told CNN that the two had "a great conversation' and will meet soon in Washington.

The White House has yet to comment. But the White House had said it would keep room in Obama's schedule this week for such a meeting and would work with either candidate to move forward with the transition of power.

This morning President Obama had a message for Americans: The sun will, in fact, come out tomorrow.

In an election night message he recorded for BuzzFeed News, Obama sought to sooth any angst among voters as they cast ballots on Tuesday after what's been a contentious presidential race between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

"This has been an exhausting, stressful and sometimes downright weird election for all of us," Obama said. "We've been through tough and divisive elections before and we've always come out stronger for it."

In recent weeks, Obama has hit the trail for Clinton in several battleground states. On Monday, Obama, joined by his wife, Michelle, campaigned alongside Clinton in Philadelphia.

"Whether your chosen candidates win or lose tonight, let's all agree, not only to stay engaged, but to push ourselves to do even better," he said.

In closing, he added, "no matter what happens, the sun will rise in the morning."
