Senator Bernie Sanders fought back tears during an emotional moment during Day 2 of the Democratic National Convention. His brother Larry Sanders cast his vote for his younger brother in a heartfelt speech during the roll-call vote.

“I want to bring before this convention the names of our parents Eli Sanders and Dorothy Glassberg Sanders. They did not have easy lives and they died young. They would be immensely proud of their son and his accomplishment,” an emotional Larry addressed the attendees.

“They loved the New Deal of Franklin Roosevelt and would be especially proud that Bernard is renewing that vision. It is with enormous pride that I cast my vote for Bernie Sanders,” he added, earning cheers of support. Watch Bernie’s reaction below.

Hillary Clinton was officially elected at the Democratic candidate after Sanders stopped the roll-call vote and stood by Clinton. His rival at this point already had the number of delegates needed to clinch the nomination.

“I move that all votes, all votes cast by delegates be reflected in the official record and I move that Hillary Clinton be selected as the nominee of the Democratic Party for President of the United States,” Sanders announced.

In 2008, Clinton did a similar move when she lost out to Barack Obama, calling in from New York and thus the roll-call ended there. As for Sanders and Clinton, the final tally excluded Vermont’s votes in favor of the acclimation and came down 2,838 votes for Clinton and 1,843 for Sanders with 55 abstentions.
