Hillary Clinton Makes History As She Clinches The Democratic Party Nomination | Bernie Sanders Refuses To Back Down

It was a Super Tuesday for Hillary Clinton when she declared victory in the Democratic presidential primary on Tuesday, making it the first time a woman will capture the nomination of a major political party in 240 years of the United States’ history!

She took the stage at the Brooklyn Navy Yard after winning a majority of pledged delegates to deliver a soaring speech that appealed for party unity against Donald Trump ahead of what she framed as a battle for “America’s very identity as a nation”. Hillary Clinton arrives onstage during a primary night rally at the Duggal Greenhouse in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, June 7, 2016 in the Brooklyn borough of New York City. Clinton has secured enough delegates and commitments from superdelegates to become the Democratic Party’s presumptive presidential nominee. She will become the first woman in U.S. history to secure the presidential nomination of one of the country’s two major political parties.

She payed tribute to the history-making moment from the 2008 Democratic primary that precluded her eight years to the day when she conceded to Barack Obama.
