Hillary Clinton Is Officially The Democratic Nominee For President
Eight years ago, Hillary Clinton famously said her first White House bid had put “about 18 million cracks” in the glass ceiling, one for each voter who’d cast a ballot for her in the 2008 primary.
On Tuesday, that glass ceiling finally came down.
Clinton was formally named the Democratic nominee for president at her party’s convention in Philadelphia, making her the first woman ever to top a major party’s ticket for the White House.
