Over the past 14 months, Twitter users in the US alone have posted some one billion tweets about the 2016 election.
And leading up to Tuesday's election-night results, the most-retweeted comment of the political season so far has been Hillary Clinton's classic shade-throwing at Donald Trump back in June, according to the social media company.
"Delete your account," Clinton's Twitter account posted on June 9, in response to Trump's tweet saying, "Obama just endorsed Crooked Hillary. He wants four more years of Obama - but nobody else does!" To date, the Hillary riposte has been retweeted 532,047 times (and liked 693,890 times).
That led to the top retweet for Trump, who has been a prolific and unfiltered Twitter user. "How long did it take your staff of 823 people to think that up - and where are your 33,000 emails that you deleted?" his account tweeted in response to Clinton. That's been retweeted 169,266 times and liked 298,104 times.
Once the presidential winner is called, however, there may be a new leader among political tweets. The most-retweeted post in Twitter's history remains Ellen DeGeneres' selfie from the 2014 Oscars, which has been retweeted 3.3 million times.
