'Heartbroken' young mother bumps into Hillary Clinton while out hiking

It's not been an easy few days for 59,938,290 American's who voted for Hillary Clinton to become the first female president of the United States, but hopefully this little story has done something to cheer them up.

To take her mind off the election news, Clinton supporter and New York native Margot Gerster took her kids hiking in Chappaqua.

As she was enjoying the scenery, and about to turn around to head home, Ms Gerster spotted someone she recognised and was suddenly filled with emotion.
