Hillary Clinton declared victory Tuesday night in the Democratic presidential primary. “We are all standing under the glass ceiling now,” Clinton said of the milestone of a major party nominating a woman for president. She also congratulated her lone opponent, Bernie Sanders, who has been reluctant thus far to concede to Clinton. “I know that feeling well,” Clinton said of Sanders’s defeat in the primary, referring to her 2008 loss to then-Sen. Barack Obama.
Clinton also looked ahead to the general election, blasting presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump as “temperamentally unfit” to be president. She went after Trump for “denegrating Muslims and immigrants,” and slammed his propensity to blame the press for his shortcomings.
Clinton declared that her campaign is one of “no limits, no ceilings on any of us.”
