Hillary Clinton Set to Be Named Democratic Nominee on Second Day of Convention

Updated | In 2008, Hillary Clinton ran for the White House against then-Senator Barack Obama, so it is safe to say she has been waiting for this day for at least eight years.

Tuesday is when the delegates at the Democratic National Convention are set to formally name Clinton as their party's 2016 presidential nominee. The former secretary of state has earned enough delegates to receive the nomination, but it becomes official only after a roll call vote of each state at the DNC. It is then that she will become the first woman in U.S. history to be a major political party's presidential nominee.

The second session of the DNC follows a day of turmoil at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. After Debbie Wasserman Schultz announced over the weekend that she plans to step down as chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, she decided not to gavel in the gathering on Monday, as was previously planned. Instead, Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake officially opened the 2016 DNC.

At one point in the evening, Minnesota Senator Al Franken and stand-up comedian Sarah Silverman took the stage together. Franken said he was a longtime Clinton supporter, while Silverman said she had been "feeling the Bern" as a fan of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, the onetime Clinton presidential rival. But together they urged unity in the Democratic Party: "To the 'Bernie or bust' people, you're being ridiculous," Silverman said to a crowd that was chanting "Bernie! Bernie!"

Other notable Democrats that addressed the crowd on Monday night included first lady Michelle Obama, New Jersey Senator Cory Booker, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren—whom some thought Clinton might pick as running mate—and Sanders. Booker also urged unity, telling the crowd, "If you want to go fast, go alone. But if you want to go far, go together."

The gavel time on Tuesday is scheduled for 4 p.m. Eastern, and the session is set to last until 11 p.m. The day's theme will be "A Lifetime of Fighting for Children and Families." The following is the list of Tuesday's prime-time speakers.
