Doesn't matter what side you're on, this is historic for all women.

[andrewherbert]

She makes me feel like a strong, intelliegent & independent woman, and I am a man

[PearlDan-wykt]

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts! meeting Mr Johnson was the turning point of my life, I earned 5btc within 3 months of trading with him, I don't see failure as the end, keep pushing.

[musha]

This is how many times she said "good evening"

Edit: wow that’s a lot of good evenings

[Visiblediety]

No she did not walk out to a Mary j Blige classic

[camilacastano]

"though I may be the first women in this office, I won't be the last."

[brandonallen]

This was a year ago. Now she has had 4 of her ades quit and has a 28% approval rating.

[Thoughtsbyme-tsjz]

Mary J went to bed this night after having called everyone she knows. I know I would after my song was played

[CamilaVanilla]

Damn, she is a smooth talker. No faltering or hesitation, clear and confident, calm and prepared...

[dbalexan]

I’m tears. Little girls everywhere should see this and dream big. Being the 1st means you open the door for others. 🥰🥰

[johnene]

She said it in the beginning. Democracy takes struggle and sacrifice.... She's an embarrassment and undeserving to be the first female VP.

[ludovicamancini]

I'm not American but man I wish we had politician like her, she made me feel powerful as a girl.
Congratulations America, from Italy.

[dannyoh]

I would be REALLY surprised if she doesn't run for president one day.

[Techead]

Shes doing an amazing job on our border, Inflation, and trying to make peace with Russia and Ukraine

[jamiehaines]

To our children: "dream with ambition, lead with conviction, and see yourselves in a way others may not, simply because they may not have seen it before." I'm so ready for some empathy and positive leadership.

[laurenelizabeth]

4 years ago I was crying tears of sadness. Today I cry tears of relief.

[sosetecuinghetata]

Finally, someone who can speak in complete sentences.

[wifeofhusband]

The one girl crying while holding her flag is everything. So so proud of you USA. Was starting to lose hope In you, but you pulled through!

[henryarero]

Democracy does not Come on a silver plate, you Must Work for it

Definition of “progress”: when 60 years ago a Catholic president was unthinkable, 60 years later we now have a second one, yet no major news outlet is discussing this because we also now have a black/Indian-American female Vice President...which was once unthinkable. My point is that some day, this too will no longer be a big deal. And that’s a good thing.
