LIVE BLOG: Clinton Becomes First Woman Nominated for President

update

The Democratic Party made it official Tuesday, naming Hillary Clinton their candidate for president in 2016 – and making history by selecting the first woman to represent a major U.S. political party. Following the roll call vote, Tuesday's speakers included former President Bill Clinton as well as the Mothers of the Movement -- the mothers of Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Sandra Bland and other young black victims of violence.

Indiana -- whose delegation leader makes a rhyme against Donald Trump and his vice presidential pick, state Governor Mike Pence -- casts 48 votes for Clinton, 43 votes for Sanders and one abstention.
