Bill Clinton reflected on his wife Hillary Clinton’s loss as he cast his electoral vote in New York, alongside Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

“I’ve never cast a vote I was prouder of,” Clinton told reporters after voting for his wife in Albany, CBS News reported.

The former president said that during a hard-fought campaign, she couldn’t prevail against alleged Russian hacking and FBI Director James Comey’s letter.

“You know, I’ve watched her work for two years. I watched her battle through that bogus email deal, be vindicated at the end when Secretary Powell came out. She fought through that. She fought through everything. And she prevailed against it all but at the end we had the Russians and the FBI deal and she couldn’t prevail against them,” Clinton said. “She did everything else and still won by 2.8 million votes.”
