Hillary Clinton tells Democrats they’ve “just put the biggest crack in that glass ceiling” by nominating her for president.

Clinton was speaking to the Democratic convention by satellite video, and offering this message to any little girls who might have stayed up to see the historic moment Tuesday night: “I may become the first woman president, but one of you is next.”

Earlier in the evening, Clinton became the first woman in the U.S. to be nominated for president by a major political party.

Former President Bill Clinton has ended his speech to the Democratic convention by pushing back against what he calls the Republicans’ “cartoon” version of his wife.

The former president tells the crowd in Philadelphia about Hillary Clinton’s role as a mother, a child advocate, an elected official and secretary of state.

Bill Clinton says “life in the real world is complicated and real change is hard.” But he calls her the best “change-maker” he’s ever known, and urges them to vote for her for the sake of their children and grandchildren.

Former President Bill Clinton says Hillary Clinton never quits, and he recalls some of his primary campaigning this spring as proof.

He says his wife sent him to West Virginia “to look those coal miners in the eye” even though “we knew we were going to lose” the state to Democratic rival Bernie Sanders.

Hillary Clinton has been criticized for saying in an interview that coal miners and companies would be put out of work.

She later said she meant only that a changing energy market place was shrinking demand. But some coal miners took the comments personally.

Bill Clinton says he and his wife campaigned in coal country anyway. He says she wants to prove she’ll work for a new economy that benefits all Americans, including coal miners who will never vote for her.

Former President Bill Clinton is offering a spirited defense of his wife’s tenure as secretary of state.

He tells Democratic convention delegates in Philadelphia that his wife was instrumental in protecting American interests, combating terrorism and advancing human rights.

Contrast that with the Republicans’ view — they paint “the Obama-Clinton foreign policy” as a failure.

Among other things, Bill Clinton says his wife put “climate change at the center of our foreign policy” and “backed President Barack Obama’s decision to go after Osama bin Laden.”

Clinton notes that his wife accepted the nation’s top diplomatic post only after losing a bitter Democratic primary contest to Obama in 2008.

He says she “loved being a senator from New York,” but ultimately accepted the president-elect’s request that she join his Cabinet.

Bill Clinton says that experience is part of what makes his wife so prepared to be the 45th president.

He recalls that she served on a special Pentagon commission with former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Clinton says Gingrich said she did a good job.

People interviewed in the video say Clinton’s presidency empowered them to get out of poverty, pay off debts and buy houses.

Howard Dean — the former Vermont governor and presidential candidate — is revisiting what’s become known as “Dean Scream.”

The crowd roared as he said they would take it “all the way to Washington, D.C.”

Think back 12 years — when Dean delivered a fiery speech on the night of his third-place finish in the 2004 Iowa caucuses. At the time, Dean pledged to campaign across the nation.

He wrapped up his speech with a defiant shriek. A video of the address got unending play on cable television and provided fodder for comedians to lampoon.

Clinton became the firm’s first female partner when her husband, Bill, was Arkansas attorney general and then governor.

Among the firm’s clients were Tyson Foods, Wal-Mart and several brokerage houses.

The firm became well known during the Whitewater scandal, when investigators probed real estate deals between the Clintons and a Rose client, Jim McDougal.

Trayvon Martin was fatally shot in Florida by a neighborhood watch volunteer in 2012 at the age of 17. The gunman was later acquitted of second-degree murder.

“Very emotional.”

That’s how Brian Pine, a Bernie Sanders delegate from Vermont, describes the feeling he had watching Sanders make his call at the Democratic National Convention for Hillary Clinton’s nomination.

Pine says the Vermont senator’s supporters must accept the gains they’ve made in the party platform and now move on to support Clinton against Republican Donald Trump.

Pine puts it this way: “In so many ways we’ve won, but the primary’s over and we came up short in the end,” he said.

He says Sanders’ supporters will need time to heal, but should consider the dark reality of a potential Trump presidency.

They say they’re holding a peaceful protest to complain about being shut out by the Democratic Party.

Jerry Emmett was born before women gained the right to vote in America, so it’s fitting she announced that the Arizona delegation was casting 51 of its 85 votes for Hillary Clinton for president.

Clinton is in line to become the first woman to be nominated for president of a U.S. political major party. And she’d make more history by being elected the first female president of the United States.

Emmett is 102 years old and from Prescott, Arizona. She remembers seeing her mother go to vote for the first time after the 19th Amendment guaranteeing women the right to vote was ratified on Aug. 18, 1920.

Emmett is legally blind and doesn’t hear very well, but she says she walks about a mile a day and still bakes pies.

She says she was thrilled to be at the Democratic National Convention — where she carried a blue-and-white sign that read: “Centenarian for Hillary.”
