A Hillary Clinton supporter who was “heartbroken” over Tuesday’s election says she decided to go on a hike in the woods — and ran into the former presidential candidate herself.
Margot Gerster said in a Facebook post that she was heading home following her hike Thursday in Clintons’ hometown of Chappaqua, New York, when she saw Clinton and former President Bill Clinton walking their dogs.
Gerster said she hugged the former Democratic nominee and told her that one of her “proudest moments as a mother” was taking her daughter with her to vote for Clinton. She posted a picture with Clinton that she says was snapped by the former president.

Maybe it’s just me but that smile really made me feel better today.
Been thinking this all week: I was not always her biggest fan, but I’m proud of her, devastated by her loss, and I just want to give her a huge hug.
Me too. Glad to see this, it will take time to get over this. I feel for her and I was sort of a tepid supporter at first but she hugely impressed me. What an impressive woman she is.
