The former secretary of state and former US senator was formally nominated for president by the Democratic Party at its national convention in Philadelphia.
Clinton had been the presumptive nominee for the Democratic Party since she defeated her chief rival, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, in the California primary in June.
Clinton's formal nomination came amid a hacking scandal that compromised thousands of Democratic National Committee emails.
Correspondence between top Democratic officials was published by Wikileaks and showed that the party apparatus was used to tip the scales in favor of Clinton and against Sanders, deepening an existing divide between the two camps as the DNC got underway.
On Monday, Sanders aimed to unite the party, delivering a strong endorsement of Clinton during a primetime address before the Philadelphia convention on Monday night.
Clinton is scheduled to formally accept the Democratic nomination when she addresses delegates at the convention Thursday night.
