Hillary Clinton formally accepted the Democratic Party's nomination for the United States president. Now she became the country's first female presidential nominee. Delivering her speech as Democratic presidential nominee, she said that the nation is in a "moment of reckoning".

"He (Trump) wants to divide us from the rest of the world, and from each other," Clinton said while speaking about the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump . "He's betting that the perils of today's world will blind us to its unlimited promise."

Trump has "taken the Republican Party a long way from 'Morning in America' to 'Midnight in America,'" Clinton said nodding to a famous Ronald Reagan ad campaign.

"He wants us to fear the future and fear each other," she said.

"Standing here as my mother's daughter, and my daughter's mother, I'm so happy this day has come," she said. Clinton added, "When any barrier falls in America, for anyone, it clears the way for everyone."

"We will not build a wall," she declared. "Instead we will build an economy where everyone who wants a good job can get one."

"I get it that some people just don't know what to make of me," she said. "So let me tell you: The family I'm from, well, no one had their name on big buildings. My family were builders of a different kind."

On the other hand, "At Hillary Clinton's convention this week, Democrats have been speaking about a world that doesn't exist," said Trump. "A world where America has full employment, where there's no such thing as radical Islamic terrorism, where the border is totally secured, and where thousands of innocent Americans have not suffered from rising crime in cities like Baltimore and Chicago."
