After the Vermont delegation announced its delegate votes, Sanders rose to speak.<\/p>\n

Against chants of \u201cBernie! Bernie!\u201d<\/em> the now former presidential candidate spoke from the convention floor to make a motion.<\/p>\n

\u201cI move that the convention suspend the procedural rules. I move that all votes, all votes cast by delegates be reflected in the official record, and I move that Hillary Clinton be selected as the nominee of the Democratic Party for president of the United States,\u201d<\/em> Sanders said.<\/p>\n

The arena erupted into cheers. Sanders then hugged his wife Jane, waved to the crowd and left. Many Sanders supporters displayed raw emotions, some in tears.<\/p>\n

Vermont’s delegation passed up their turn in the vote counting, to secure a place at the end of the line, giving Sanders the opportunity to make the historical motion.<\/p>\n
