Clinton comforts hiker
One Clinton supporter decided to go for a hike after feeling "heartbroken" about the election results. And on that hike, she ran into Hillary Clinton herself and was immediately heartened. The photo they took together has now gone viral. CBSN's Elaine Quijano has more.

Why did Clinton lose?
CBS News elections director Anthony Salvanto, CBS News senior political editor Steve Chaggaris, CBSN political contributor Leslie Sanchez, and Politico chief polling analyst Steve Shepard join CBSN to discuss how Donald Trump pulled off a historic surprise election victory against Hillary Clinton.
Predicting Trump's win
Nearly all major media sources predicted Hillary Clinton was likely to win the 2016 presidential election. How did the polling forecasts get it so wrong? Matt Oczkowski was part of Trump's polling team and explains their analysis on CBSN.
Agony of a presidential defeat
Hillary Clinton's emotional concession speech was praised as "classy" and "poignant." She joins a select group of politicians who came up short in their quest for the White House. The losses can haunt them for months or even years. Chip Reid reports on how previous candidates have dealt with stinging defeats.
Trump campaign data analyst
Almost every major forecast predicting the presidential election favored Hillary Clinton to win, but shortcomings in polling, analysis and interpretation led the public astray. President-elect Donald Trump's campaign used a London-based data analytics company to help advise strategy. Cambridge Analytica product head Matt Oczkowski joins "CBS This Morning" to discuss what they discovered.
Democrats face uncertain future
The Democratic Party faces an uncertain future. Hillary Clinton called for national unity Wednesday during her emotional concession speech. But her party faces a reckoning now that Democrats are out of power in Washington. Nancy Cordes reports.

Moving forward post-election

How polls got election wrong
The CBS News/New York Times poll is considered one of the best in the industry; yet it and many others missed the mark. CBS News elections director Anthony Salvanto tells Scott Pelley how so many experts got the election wrong.

Trump has vowed to withdraw the U.S. from free trade agreements, scrap the Iranian nuclear deal and repeal Obamacare. Margaret Brennan reports.
GOP keeps Capitol Hill

Pelley on election results
In the days before the election, someone asked Scott Pelley a question he had never considered before: "Are we going to be OK?" Pelley attempts to answer that question.
Russia celebrates Trump
While much of the world reacted to Donald Trump's election victory with anxiety, that was not the case in Russia, where people were celebrating all over Moscow. Russian President Vladimir Putin, who was accused of meddling in the election, sees it as a way for his country to regain status as a world power. Elizabeth Palmer reports.
Clinton, Ryan, Trump speak
Hillary Clinton spoke to disappointed supporters Wednesday morning, with an optimistic message. So did House Speaker Paul Ryan, pledging to work with Donald Trump to heal a divided nation. For his part, Trump asked the country come together as a united nation.
