The Democratic National Convention closed out Wednesday night with Hillary Clinton and President Obama arm-in-arm onstage. After Obama wrapped up one of his last major speeches as president, Clinton surprised the convention by making her first in-person appearance. In a moment that solidified Obama's call for voters to keep his journey going, the two — the country's first black president and, possibly, its first female president — embraced, as cheers broke out on the convention floor.
Clinton will make her second — and much longer — appearance when she addresses the convention Thursday night. In the meantime, you can watch her surprise entrance, below. Becca Stanek
