Hillary Clinton takes the stage during the final day of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. AP Photo/Mark J. Terrill[/caption] Hillary Clinton made history this week at the Democratic National Convention, becoming the first female nominee of a major U.S. party. She accepted her place in history after a week of testimonials and high-profile endorsements from President Barack Obama, first lady Michelle Obama, former President Bill Clinton and Vice President Joe Biden, among others. But the four-day event was not without controversy, including the resignation of DNC Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, whose announcement came after leaked DNC emails were released. Consistent boos and protests largely from supporters of former presidential candidate and Sen. Bernie Sanders also made headlines. Read about the DNC highlights below and the other biggest stories of the week, as they appeared in this week’s Daily Edition. 1. How Hillary Clinton defined her historic moment—CNN, Stephen Collinson and Maeve Reston Top line: “She had accepted the Democratic nomination with ‘humility, determination and boundless confidence in America’s promise,’ taking her place as the first woman to lead a major presidential ticket on a night pulsating with emotion. ‘When there are no ceilings,’ she declared, ‘the sky’s the limit.’ Her speech lacked the poetic sweep of the President Barack Obama’s address Wednesday, but it was in keeping with someone who presents herself as a practical, dogged, policy-oriented striver who gets knocked down and then gets straight back up. The choice she defined for the nation in 2016 is stark: a ‘moment of reckoning.'” Topic to follow: Hillary Clinton [caption id="attachment_29705" align="alignnone" width="1024"] President Obama hugs Hillary Clinton after addressing the delegates.

Obama shares his positive vision of a nation whose diversity is a strength—The Washington Post, David Nakamura Top line: “Twelve years to the day after President Obama first offered Americans the promise of moving beyond paralyzing partisanship, he took the stage here at the Democratic National Convention at a time when the nation is more starkly polarized than before. But instead of shying away from the themes he spoke so eloquently about in 2004, the president returned directly to them in his 44-minute address on Wednesday. In a pointed rebuke to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, Obama argued that the common American values and ideals he identified in his first national address remain as true today as they did then — even if it’s hard to see them.” Topic to follow: Barack Obama [caption id="attachment_29706" align="alignnone" width="1024"] Michelle Obama addresses the Democratic National Convention.

FBI investigating whether Russians hacked Democratic Party’s emails to help Donald Trump—Los Angeles Times, Del Quentin Wilber, Tracy Wilkinson and Brian Bennett Top line: “One government official equated the hack against one of America’s main political parties to an assault on the nation’s “critical infrastructure,” such as the electrical grid.

Bernie Sanders, in the party’s primary. The embarrassing emails forced the resignation over the weekend of the party’s chairwoman, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz.” Topic to follow: Democratic Party 5.
