Clinton clinches the Democratic nomination

Hillary Clinton won decisive victories in California and New Jersey last night, sealing her selection as the Democratic presidential nominee. According to the latest Associated Press tally, Clinton has 2,755 delegates going into the July convention. She needed 2,383 to clinch the nomination.

But Clinton’s rival, Bernie Sanders, still isn’t ready to concede. Sanders told reporters last night he will “continue to fight” through next week’s primary in Washington, D.C.

Clinton, who has already turned much of her focus to the November election, isn’t waiting for Sanders to make it official. She declared victory during a rally last night in New York.

“Barriers can come down,” she told supporters. “Justice and equality can win. This campaign is about making sure there are no ceilings, no limits on any of us. This is our moment to come together.”

In addition to California and New Jersey, Clinton also took victories in New Mexico and South Dakota. Sanders won in Montana and North Dakota. Although not ready to give up “the struggle,” as he calls it, Sanders did call Clinton last night to congratulate her on her wins. He plans to meet next week with President Barack Obama to discuss “how to build on the extraordinary work he has done to engage millions of Democratic voters, and to build on that enthusiasm.”

Obama remained neutral throughout the primary season, until last week, when Clinton secured enough superdelegates to guarantee the nomination. After that, he offered a full endorsement of his former secretary of state.

On the Republican side, Donald Trump won the GOP contests in California, New Jersey, New Mexico, South Dakota, and Montana. But he focused mostly on damage control last night, defending and spinning comments he made about the New York judge presiding over the case against Trump University. The billionaire businessman attacked the judge’s Mexican heritage and said he was biased against Trump because of the candidate’s stance on immigration. Republican Party leaders called the remarks “racist” and “indefensible.”

Last night, Trump pledged to unify the party.

“I understand the responsibility of carrying the mantle, and I will never, ever let you down—too much work, too many people, blood, sweat, and tears,” Trump said at an event in suburban New York City. “I will make you proud of your party and our movement, and that’s what it is, is a movement.”
