Clinton: Voting for myself was 'humbling

Democratic nominee for president Hillary Clinton says it's "humbling" to vote for herself for president.

Moments after casting her ballot Tuesday morning in Chappaqua, New York, Clinton was asked by CNN's Dan Merica what it means to vote for herself.

"It is the most humbling feeling," Clinton replied. "Because I know how much responsibility goes with this and so many people are counting on the outcome of this election, what it means for our country, and I'll do the very best I can if I am fortunate enough to win today."

Clinton was accompanied to the polls by her husband, former President Bill Clinton around 8 a.m.

The former first couple live just a few miles from the polling location.

Roughly 40 miles south, Clinton's Republican challenger, Donald Trump, and his wife, Melania, cast their ballots at a polling place in Manhattan.
