Hillary Clinton has clinched the Democratic Party nomination and walked into history... becoming the first female presidential candidate to ever represent a major American political party.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton secured the Democratic Party nomination during a roll call vote on Tuesday evening,... becoming the first female presidential candidate to ever represent a major party in U.S. history.
During the roll call vote at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, states read out their delegate allocations for Clinton and her rival, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.

"California, the state with lots of energy, lots of enthusiasm and the state that defies Donald Trump on climate change, immigration reform and the $15 minimum wage, casts for Bernie Sanders, 221 votes. And for Hillary Clinton, the next president of the United States, 331 votes."

"The state of New York pledges 108 delegates to Senator Bernie Sanders and applauds him for his call for unity for all Democrats. And New York State pledges 181 delegates for the next president of the United States, Hillary Rodham Clinton."

When all was said and done, there were 18-hundred-65 votes for Sanders and 2-thousand-842 votes for Clinton, well past the required 23-82.
The vote ended with a gesture of solidarity from Sanders, who moved to make the nomination unanimous.

"And I move that Hillary Clinton be selected as the nominee of the Democratic Party for president of the United States."

He has been trying to get his most ardent supporters to accept Clinton as the nominee,... amid an email scandal that has roiled the party in recent days.
Clinton is scheduled to give her acceptance speech on Thursday and then she will turn her attention to campaigning against Republican nominee Donald Trump ahead of Election Day on November 8th.
