In Show Of Unity, Bernie Sanders Moves To Nominate Hillary Clinton For President
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Hillary Clinton made history on Tuesday when she became the first woman to receive the nomination of a major party for president of the United States.
While the spotlight went to Clinton, some notable attention also went to Senator Bernie Sanders, who fought Clinton for the nomination. Sanders came down when the Vermont delegation read out their votes, casting 22 for Sanders and four for Clinton.
