Hillary Clinton to formally accept Democratic Party nomination at convention Day 4
Rounding off a week of endorsements from Barack Obama, Joe Biden, running mate Time Kaine, and former opponent Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton will formally accept the Democratic Party's nomination on Thursday after a night of speeches addressing issues that effect women, such as equality in pay and the workplace. And just as Donald Trump was introduced by his daughter, Ivanka, Clinton will be ushered onto the stage at the end of the evening following an introduction by Chelsea Clinton.
Under the theme of "Stronger Together," the President of the Human Rights Campaign Chad Griffin and the Co-Chair of the Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney (D-N.Y.) will also be giving speeches. See the full schedule here.
