In historic nomination, Clinton vows to protect Israel and enforce Iran deal
The first woman with an odds-on chance of winning the presidency accepted the Democratic nomination on Thursday night, setting off a general election contest between two larger-than-life forces in American politics.
“It is with humility, determination and boundless confidence in America’s promise that I accept your nomination for President of the United States,” Clinton said, acknowledging her success as the first female nominee of a major party in US history as a “milestone” in the country’s long march toward fulfilling its founding principles.
