Hillary Clinton Made History Last Night, But You Wouldn’t Know It From These Front Pages
July 27, 2016
Hillary Clinton made history last night, putting “the biggest crack in that glass ceiling yet” by becoming the first woman nominee of a major political party in the United States. But if you check out the front pages of some of our nation’s most prestigious daily newspapers, you may come to the conclusion that it’s 1992 all over again, and that it was Bill—not Hillary—who made history.
Announcing the historic moment on their front pages, the Chicago Tribune, the Washington Post, the Houston Chronicle, the San Francisco Chronicle, and the Wall Street Journal were among the (many) papers that featured above-the-fold images of husband Bill Clinton waving to the Democratic National Convention after he delivered an elegant and lengthy address that reframed the narrative of one of the most prominent power couples in U.S. political history.
