Clinton accepts historic nomination, slams Trump vision
Philadelphia : Hillary Clinton on Thursday claimed her place in history as the first woman presidential nominee of a major US party, promising economic opportunity for all and rejecting Donald Trump's dark vision of America.
Pledging to be a president for "all Americans," the former secretary of state received thunderous cheers from thousands of delegates in the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia where she called for unity in a nation at a "state of reckoning."
Clinton repeated the convention's theme of "stronger together," declaring that her lifelong goal has been to ensure that Americans can use their talent and ambition to strengthen the nation.
"And so it is with humility, determination, and boundless confidence in America's promise, that I accept your nomination for president of the United States," she said, as her president husband Bill and their daughter Chelsea looked on.
While she soaked in the historic nature of her accomplishment, the 68-year-old Clinton spent much of the biggest speech of her career taking aim at her Republican opponent, slamming him as a fear-monger with no policy credibility.
