Before Clinton’s speech, co-host Rachel Maddow looked forward to Clinton “claim[ing] really her moment in the sun and her moment in history as the first woman to ever be nominated for president by either major party” that surely will “change your country forever.”

She also made sure to frame Clinton’s candidacy seconds before an introductory video aired that it would lead to “a different kind of country” going forward:

This is also a moment that’s about our country in the same way that we, as a country, became a different kind of country when an African-American man was nominated and then elected. We'll be a different kind of country tonight when it becomes clear that a woman will be the Democratic candidate for president this year for the first time ever in 240 years.
