Hillary Clinton accepts Democratic Party nomination

Hillary Clinton seeks to heal rifts within her own party as she formally accepts the Democratic presidential nomination. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – As Hillary Clinton made history as the first woman to accept a major party’s presidential nomination, she told Americans that their country was “at a moment of reckoning” with “powerful forces … threatening to pull us apart”. Addressing the Democratic National Convention on Thursday night, Clinton called for unity, saying it is up to Americans “to decide whether we’re going to work together so we can all rise together”. “We have to be afraid at home, because people are seeing their jobs shift away and terrorists are coming into malls, and we have to be afraid abroad because we have bad players moving against American interests.” Rocky start The convention, which nominated Clinton, got off to a rocky start this week: a leaked cache of emails showed the Democratic National Committee chairwoman, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, had favoured Clinton over Sanders. The polls I’ve seen suggest that the Sanders people are already coming around.” More good jobs Viewership of the first two nights of the convention was higher than its Republican counterpart last week, leaving aides relieved and hopeful that polls would bounce afterwards, as Clinton and her vice-presidential candidate Tim Kaine tour Pennsylvania and Ohio.
