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.
Florida, the Sunshine State and the swing state that went blue (voted Democrat) for President Obama, casts 163 votes for Hillary Clinton and 72 votes for Bernie Sanders.
For the roll call, each state introduces and shares a few facts and demographics about themselves before announcing how many of their delegates are for each candidate.
