Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made history eight years ago as the first woman nominated for president by a major political party. Despite this milestone, she ultimately lost the election to Donald Trump. As the Democratic Party prepares to nominate another woman, Kamala Harris, for the presidency at the upcoming convention in Chicago, Clinton plans to address the symbolic glass ceiling that remains unbroken.
Clinton is expected to highlight the progress made in breaking the glass ceiling while acknowledging the work that still needs to be done. She has been in close contact with Harris since President Joe Biden selected her as his running mate in the 2020 election. Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, endorsed Harris early on and have expressed excitement about her historic candidacy.
