Surrounded by energized supporters, Hillary Clinton on Tuesday claimed victory in reaching a milestone of becoming the first woman to head a major U.S. political party ticket after a sluggish year-long primary battle.
“It may be hard to see tonight, but we are all standing under a glass ceiling right now. But don’t worry, we’re not smashing this one,” Clinton told her supporters gathered in the Brooklyn Navy Yard after winning a majority of pledged delegates. “Thanks to you, we’ve reached a milestone – the first time in our nation’s history that a woman will be a major party’s nominee for president of the United States.”
