The Democratic Party has made
history by nominating Hillary Clinton
to run for US president as the first
woman to head a major party's
presidential ticket.
Speaking via videolink from New
York after her nomination on
Tuesday night, Hillary Clinton told
the Democratic National Convention
in Philadelphia that she was
honoured to have been chosen as the
party's nominee.
"I am so happy. It's been a great day
and night. What an incredible honour
that you have given me. And I can't
believe that we've just put the biggest
crack in that glass ceiling yet. Thanks
to you and everyone who has fought
so hard to make this possible," she
said.
"And if there are any little girls out
there, who have stayed up late to
watch, let me just say: I may become
the first woman president, but one of
you is next."
