3:39 pm
the 2382 she needs on get nomination. she will become the first woman in american history to lead a party into a presidential election. she now, jake, has done it. it is official. she's gotten more than 2382. even though people in this hall are waiting for more. >> it is a moment in american history. the first woman to head a ticket, a major party presidential ticket. a moment women have been trying on run for president in this country since 1872. and it is an historic moment. i don't know that the delegates on the floor quite realize it yet. but one of the things that's going on is that there is, if last notice was in many ways about letting bernie sanders have a night and letting progressives have a night, today is about uniting the party. bringing everyone together. letting the sanders delegates cast their votes for sanders. letting the hillary delegates cast their votes for her.
3:40 pm
and i suspect the democrats have something in mind to bring this in mine to a big close. >> they're deliberately not showing the tally because they're all waiting for vermont, they're all waiting for something special to occur and senator sanders to do something to unify party. >> and it has been very moving in many ways. you had bernie sanders' brother come and talk about losing their parents young is that what a moment this would be for them. you had a delegate more than 100 years old. that means with she was born, women did not have the right to vote. much less be president of the united states. >> we saw bernie get so emotional when his brother was talking about how proud their parents would have been had they been here. they were jewish immigrants who came to brooklyn, new york. didn't have anything and raised a son who grew up to be a united states senator. and did very well in this presidential election. >> weaved talked the last couple
3:41 pm
days about all the emotions that we've seen from sanders supporters. we need point out that there is a lot of emotion from hillary clinton supporters. especially for women like most most. the first female speaker of the house. >> this is texas right now. then utah. i'm anxious to see the vermont delegation, who makes their announcement. >> 72 votes for senator sanders. utah. utah, you have three votes. how do you cast your votes? >> madam secretary, the great state of utah, the industrious and beautiful bee hive state, adventures' first stop as home to five national parks, the greatest snow on earth, and the

3:43 pm
going to be hearing directly from senator bernie sanders. >> that would be my suspicion as well. why would vermont pass unless they wanted to make some sort of point at the end? >> and bernie sanders wanted the roll call to have all the states announce their votes. that's why vermont wants to be the last. >> it is a way for the vermont, a way for the bernie sanders delegates to voice their preference for him and it is also been a well choreographed way for the democrats to display unity. at least so far. we thought there was the potential for demonstrations for sanders supporters. especially in the california delegation. that hasn't happened. the party has been remarkably unified. >> so smooth. almost an hour and a half since this roll call has been going on. and it is almost over. and you can only imagine what will happen at the very end, if in fact bernie sanders does what
3:44 pm
we anticipate. announces vermont's votes and then does something even more to try to underscore unity. >> virginia. >> we know that sanders is in the hall, after all. i think this is all an educated guess as to what might happen. remember, eight years ago, there was an important moment when hillary clinton nominated barack obama. it allowed people to see her these as particularly support him even though they had such a contentious battle. >> i am looking at the vermont group. i don't know if bernie sanders is already there. maybe we'll get a shot of that vermont delegation. presumably, bernie sanders will be walking out there and he'll want to make, i suspect he will make a statement. in the meantime, let's go back to the roll call. >> home to our beloved first daughter and first lady, and
3:45 pm
home to the next vice president of the united states, tim kaine. virginia casts 33 votes for senator sanders. and virginia casts 75 votes for the next president of the united states. >> here comes bernie sanders. vermont will be last. vermont will be last, clearly, bernie sanders is going to make a statement. not only to explain vermont's vote but also explaining to everybody here, 20,000 plus people in the wells fargo center but to the nation and the world where he stands and hopes the democratic party will be. >> it has been a contentious and fractious primary.
3:46 pm
and he is, his speech last night was a very strong speech in favor of secretary clinton and we obviously see vermont passing earlier. and now about to give their delegates, bernie sanders, again about, to express strong support for his one time rival. >> it is such an emotional moment for him. and earlier when we saw his brother speak briefly, talk about his parents. you saw him start to cry. you saw the tears coming out of his eyes. >> he is not a marparticularly emotional guy. he is a passionate guy about his issues. obviously his brother larry invoking their brother who died young. let's watch. >> and let's not forget, eight years ago, it was hillary clinton who did something very similar at this democratic convention to promote the possibility the first
3:47 pm
african-american would be elected president of the united states. now history is being made potentially. it could be the first woman president of the united states. we have three more states to go. let's listen in. >> and 42 votes, and 42 votes for the exceptional and ground breaking next president of the united states, secretary hillary rodham clinton! >> washington, you have cast 42 votes for secretary clinton and 74 votes for senator sanders. west virginia. west virginia, you have 37 votes. how do you cast your votes? >> madam secretary, almost heaven, west virginia, home of the most compassionate people in the world when disaster strikes
