[0:00] economy. Americans react to Friday's
[0:02] shock. What's next?
[0:05] And high anxiety over a life or death
[0:08] stunt. Why do they do it?
[0:14] From NBC News World Headquarters in New
[0:17] York, this is NBC Nightly News with
[0:21] Lester Halt.
[0:23] >> Good evening. One of the more remarkable
[0:25] presidential nominating contests in this
[0:27] country's history came to an end today.
[0:29] As anticipated, Hillary Clinton closed
[0:31] out her campaign, telling a crowd of
[0:33] family, staff, friends, and other

[1:05] so hard to defeat, but her endorsement
[1:07] did sound sincere and enthusiastic. Her
[1:10] remarks today were at times very candid
[1:12] and very personal, especially when she
[1:13] talked about being a woman running for
[1:15] president, as she tried to put an
[1:16] exclamation point, not just a period, at
[1:19] the end of her campaign. This isn't
[1:22] exactly the party I planned, but I sure
[1:24] like the company.
[1:26] >> Several thousand people who now think of
[1:27] themselves as Hillary Clinton Democrats
[1:30] filled one of Washington's most
