Cheers on Twitter for Hillary Clinton's Historic Nomination

Clinton became the first female candidate to lead a major party in the presidential race after an hour-long roll call vote

Democrat Hillary Clinton made history Tuesday night when she became the first woman to be nominated for president by a major party.

Other women, including Democrat Shirley Chisholm, have sought a major party nomination. And others have made third-party runs.

But after defeating U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, Clinton shattered a glass ceiling.

Supporters took to social media to applaud Clinton for her achievement.
