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 video link 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."

Delegates erupted in cheers throughout the roll call of states on the floor of the convention earlier in the evening. 

Clinton passed the 2,383 votes needed to secure the nomination.

"We knew this was going to happen because obviously we knew she was the presumptive nominee and that she had all the votes that she needed from the primaries. But what happened here was a roll call, state by state announcing their votes. How many for Bernie Sanders. How many for Hillary Clinton. And a great deal of drama in the room,"

'The best darn change maker'

In nominating Clinton, delegate after delegate at the convention made the point that the selection of a woman was a milestone in America's 240-year-old history. US women got the right to vote in 1920.

This is good for American's democracy but i see Trump winning that election.

I prefer Hilary Clinton to Donald T. Congratulations to Clinton.

Interesting! But can Americans really allow a lady to be the president at this period of Islamic terrorists revolution?
