WATCH Hillary Clinton Accepts the Democratic Nomination


Hillary Clinton has accepted the Democratic party's presidential nomination Thursday night in Philadelphia, making history as the first woman to be chosen to run for the highest office in the land by a major party in the United States.

"Today, we've reached a milestone in our nation's march toward a more perfect union: The first time that a major party has nominated a woman for President," Clinton said. "Standing here as my mother's daughter's, and my daughter's mother, I'm so happy this day has come."

"Happy for grandmothers and little girls and everyone in between. Happy for boys and men, too, because when any barrier falls in America, for anyone, it clears the way for everyone," she continued. "When there are no ceilings, the sky's the limit."

Clinton was clearly emotional as she walked on stage, and said: "I'm so happy this day has come." .......................

Quoting Jackie Kennedy, Clinton reminded Americans why Donald Trump is so dangerous, saying, "war might be started not so much by big men as by the little ones... moved more by fear and pride."

Before her performance, Perry implored viewers to register to vote, saying that on Nov. 8, "you'll have as much say as any billionaire."

Katy Parry took the stage on the final day of the Democratic National convention to perform her new song, "Rise" before a brief version of "Roar."
