As Democrat Hillary Clinton was getting ready to shatter a glass ceiling Thursday as the first woman ever to accept a presidential nomination from a major U.S. political party, Governor Gina Raimondo was preparing to return home to watch Clinton’s speech on television with her family.
Raimondo, who shattered a glass ceiling herself when she became Rhode Island’s first female governor, said she was especially glad to have the chance to watch the speech with her 12-year-old daughter, Ceci.
