Donald Trump was named the Republican presidential nominee last week during the Republican National Convention. He secured the necessary 1,237 delegates on July 19 and will be up against Clinton in November.
The former first lady previously ran for the Democratic nomination in 2008 against current President Barack Obama. She campaigned again this year opposite Senator Bernie Sanders, who voiced his unequivocal support for Clinton in a speech on Monday, July 25.
"Any objective observer will conclude that — based on her ideas and her leadership — Hillary Clinton must become the next president of the United States," Sanders told delegates.
Later on Monday, July 25, First Lady Michelle Obama praised Clinton for having the “guts and grace to keep coming back to put those cracks in the glass ceiling.”
“Because of Hillary, my daughters now take for granted that a woman can be president of the United States,” Obama said of the history-making politician in her widely praised speech.
Clinton is expected to formally accept her nomination on Thursday, July 28. Her husband, former president Bill Clinton, will speak Tuesday night during the convention.
