It was a Super Tuesday for Hillary Clinton when she declared victory in the Democratic presidential primary on Tuesday, making it the first time a woman will capture the nomination of a major political party in 240 years of the United States’ history!
She took the stage at the Brooklyn Navy Yard after winning a majority of pledged delegates to deliver a soaring speech that appealed for party unity against Donald Trump ahead of what she framed as a battle for “America’s very identity as a nation”.
