Hillary
Clinton became the first woman in history to win the White House nomination of
a major US political party Tuesday, securing the backing of Democrats at a
convention in Philadelphia.
The former first lady, senator and secretary of state took a
monumental step on her quest to become America’s first female president, by
besting party challenger Bernie Sanders. After a tumultuous convention opening
which saw Sanders and Clinton supporters trade jeers and chants, cheers erupted
as Clinton passed the 2,382-delegate threshold needed for the nomination,
setting up a showdown with Republican Donald Trump in November.
