The Democrats on Tuesday made a history when Hillary Clinton was nominated as the first female presidential nominee of a major party.
The former first lady, New York senator and secretary of state was formally installed as the party nominee to take on Donald Trump on an emotional night at the Democratic convention in Philadelphia.
Clinton will formally accept the nomination on Thursday night, but appeared at the convention live via satellite Tuesday to thank delegates for confirming her as the party’s nominee.
“What an incredible honor that you have given me and I can’t believe we just put the biggest crack in that glass ceiling yet,” she said. “This is really your victory. This is really your night. And if there are any little girls out there who stayed up late to watch, let me just say I may become the first woman president but one of you is next.”
Moments before she spoke, Clinton’s husband, former President Bill Clinton, built an extended case for his wife as an agent of change. He told the convention audience that Hillary Clinton has spent her life fighting to improve people’s lives.
“This woman has never been satisfied with the status quo on anything. She has always wanted to move the ball forward — that is who she is,” Bill Clinton said. “She’s a change-maker. That’s what she does.”
He also spoke in deeply personal terms of the early days of their relationship. “In the spring of 1971, I met a girl,” he said. Clinton said he and Hillary have been together in “good times and bad, through joy and heartbreak.” “We’ve built up a lifetime of memories,” he said.
Hillary Clinton’s nomination comes on the second day of the Democratic National Convention, where leaders sought to move past the drama of divisions between Clinton and Sanders supporters.
“I move that Hillary Clinton be selected as the nominee of the Democratic Party for President of the United States,” Sanders moved for Clinton to be acclaimed the party nominee.
The President of The United State of America Barrack Obama and The First Lady Of The Unites States of America Michelle Obama have expressed that they will back up Hillary Clinton during November elections for they see her as the best champion for American people.
Michelle in her speech during Democrats Conventional Conference said that Hillary wants to serve the great Americans equally and from her experience said she was ready and capable to handle the pressure of being the president of United States.
