DHAKA: Democrat Hillary Clinton has become the first woman to be nominated for president by any major US party.

She reached the milestone in a roll call vote from all 50 states at the Democratic National Convention (DNC), BBC reports on Wednesday (July 27).

Hillary Clinton's nomination comes after Senator Bernie Sanders' supporters disrupted the first day of the convention with boos and jeers.

Former President Bill Clinton is now speaking about how he met his wife and what makes her qualified for the job.

Hillary Clinton passed the 2,382 delegates needed to claim the nomination after South Dakota announced its delegate vote count.
