TOKYO. KAZINFORM The Democratic Party on Tuesday nominated Hillary Clinton as its presidential candidate, making her the first female presidential nominee from a major U.S. political party.
The nomination will pit the former secretary of state against Republican Party nominee Donald Trump, a business tycoon and political outsider, in the Nov. 8 White House election.
"Tonight we will make history about 100 years in the making," Karen Finney, senior spokeswoman for Clinton, told reporters on the second day of the four-day Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, referring to Clinton's bid to become the U.S. first female commander-in-chief.
