Jane Sanders, wife of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, said her husband’s campaign does not intend to make an issue out of the FBI’s probe into Hillary Clinton’s emails. “Trump declared himself the “presumptive nominee” of the Republican Party after he won a self-described “‘massive landslide”, polling more than 50% of the votes in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Rhode Island and CT. A campaign more confident of its prospects of winning the nomination would generally be more inclined to leave people in place to focus on general-election preparations. Clinton and Trump have both built large leads in delegate counts.

A loose “Stop Trump” arrangement between the Cruz and Kasich campaigns gave Kasich the opportunity to face Trump more or less one-on-one in or, but the OH governor has stumbled in the Beaver State.
“Every week – boom, boom, boom, I knocked them off”, Mr Trump told his supporters in California referring to the defeat of other Republican candidates by him. Stephen Colbert says he has a lot more work to do.
It’s not the first time Trump has suggested that Clinton’s gender is behind her success.
Cruz or Kasich will reportedly help each other in states where either one is stronger. Mr. Trump now has 953 delegates, and needs almost 250 of the 502 up for grabs before the Republican convention in July to win nomination.
Cruz, who’s aiming to topple Trump at the Cleveland gathering, implicitly emphasized the front-runner’s turbulent relationships with women Wednesday as he tapped former candidate Carly Fiorina as his would-be running mate, praising her as someone who has “over and over… shattered glass ceilings”.
Donald Trump, a billionaire businessman, won a majority of votes for the Republican Party in all five states. Either candidate must have 2,383 delegates to win the nomination. The move comes after Hillary Clinton defeated Sanders in four out of five states in Tuesday’s primaries.

“That is why this campaign is going to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia with as many delegates as possible to fight for a progressive party platform that calls for a $15-an-hour minimum wage, an end to our disastrous trade policies, a Medicare-for-all health care system, breaking up Wall Street financial institutions, ending fracking in our country, making public colleges and universities tuition free and passing a carbon tax so we can effectively address the planetary crisis of climate change”, Sanders said in the statement. “As far as I am concerned, this race is over”, Trump said, adding that his rival John Kasich, who has 153 delegates to his kitty, is simply wasting his time.
