It's easy to imagine that for most Hillary Clinton supporters, meeting the Democratic nominee in person would be a very emotional experience - especially after such a long and difficult campaign. And as one video from NBC's Monica Alba proves, it will be a while yet before that changes.

During an event in honor of retiring Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid on Thursday, Clinton gave a brief speech addressing the dangers of fake news before joking about how she'd assumed the election would go in a very different direction. The speech earned her a standing ovation, but it was what happened after that's guaranteed to hit you right in the feels.

According to Alba, Clinton reportedly went to greet some of her running-mate Tim Kaine's staffers and "young supporters" after her speech, which made all of them very emotional - so much so that they began to sob. It's an intimate moment that proves just how much Clinton's campaign mattered to many young voters, and she handles it with grace.
