Hillary Clinton’s campaign has revealed the location for her election night celebration, and the symbolism is causing quite a stir among her supporters. In invitations sent to Capitol Hill, it was announced that Hillary, along with her family and supporters, will be gathering in a venue that embodies the momentous occasion: the Jacob Javits Convention Center in Manhattan.
This striking venue, constructed in 1986, is predominantly made of glass, making it an ideal backdrop for a night that could see her shatter the ultimate glass ceiling by becoming the first female president of the United States. Madam President indeed has a nice ring to it! Major kudos to her team for devising this brilliant photo opportunity.
Adding an amusing twist to the story: during the planning stages of the convention center, Donald Trump tried to attach his name to the project, offering the city a mere $833,000 to do so. New York, however, opted to honor a United States senator who had passed away that year instead. Oh, the irony!
Hillary remarked in 2008, after losing the Democratic primary to Barack Obama, “Although we weren’t able to shatter that highest, hardest glass ceiling this time, thanks to you, it’s got about 18 million cracks in it, and the light is shining through like never before.” Her hope for the future was palpable, and as I watched that speech, I wished for her return to the political arena so that my daughter and I could witness a woman ascend to the highest office in the land.
Fast forward to Hillary’s next campaign, where she faced a particularly challenging opponent known for his racist and misogynistic antics. Many women had a bitter experience throughout this campaign as we observed his constant disrespect towards women, including his infamous admission of sexual assault. Hillary’s potential victory is significant not merely as a female president but as a stand against a man who has consistently degraded women. Her win would send a powerful message against misogyny and gender inequality.
The glass ceiling venue could not be more fitting for this historic occasion. On election night, surrounded by her supporters and millions watching from home, Hillary is poised to do what so many have awaited for over 200 years: break through that ceiling and become the first female POTUS. Women across the nation will feel empowered, knowing that their dreams are within reach. When we say, “You can be president someday,” it will ring true for the next generation.
Traditionally, victory parties involve showering the candidate with balloons, a tradition that past presidents like Bill Clinton have enjoyed. But this year, there is no need for balloons—Hillary has it all covered with a dazzling display of diamond confetti on November 8.
