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.
Iowa, which boasts a history of first for women, casts 30 votes for Clinton and 21 votes for Sanders.
Kansas -- home to Ann Durham, President Barack Obama's mother -- 23 votes for Sanders and 14 votes for Clinton. That vote for Clinton brings cheers in the vicinity.
