Hillary Clinton claims historic victory in Democratic primary

“It belongs to generations of women and men who struggled and sacrificed and made this moment possible”. “Don’t use Hillary Clinton as an excuse, as a blank check to say racist things about people born in Indiana”.

The liberal lawmaker increasingly has tangled with Trump, taking on a role that she seems able to execute more effectively than other Democrats, including presumptive presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

President Barack Obama called both Mr. Sanders and Ms. Clinton late Tuesday, congratulating both on their campaigns.

“I feel very good about the campaign we ran”, she said.

Democrats and Republicans are in a seemingly endless dispute on judicial nominations, with each side claiming the other has been more obstructionist on the issue. He was declared the victor in New Jersey, New Mexico and South Dakota based on early returns. “We’re going to lead the Republican Party to victory this fall”. Clinton also made overtures to Sanders’ supporters while discussing the “hard-fought, deeply felt campaign” against Sanders.

If the trends hold, it would be the first time since the start of direct Senate elections a century ago that a Republican has not appeared on a California general election ballot for the U.S. Senate, says Claremont McKenna College political scientist Jack Pitney. She also directly attacked her presumptive rival for the Presidency, stating that “Donald Trump is temperamentally unfit to be President of our country”.

“There is a difference between thinking hypothetically about the first woman President and Hillary Clinton actually becoming the first female nominee of a major party, and I think for many women they will find themselves unexpectedly emotional about this”, Dunn said via email. Her victories on Tuesday added to the count, which includes pledged delegates won in primaries and caucuses, as well as superdelegates the party officials and officeholders who can back a candidate of their choosing. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt) into the fold. Mr. Sanders picked up wins in Montana and North Dakota. Later in the evening, he was named the projected victor of Montana and California, sweeping all five states holding primaries Tuesday. The location was not far from Clinton’s Chappaqua home. Asked on NBC whether he was continuing that effort, he said, “We are”.

“It may be hard to see tonight, but we are all standing under a glass ceiling right now”.

Trump accused the Clinton family as politicians who have used the political system for personal gain.

The latest cause for GOP concern was his insistence that a judge handling a legal case involving the businessman was being unfair in his rulings. College student Jay Moslehi, who managed to snap a selfie with Clinton at her event in Sacramento, wore a white t-shirt with an “x” drawn in Sharpie marker through Trump’s name.

“I will never ever let you down”, Trump said.

Trump released a long statement today that did not apologize for his comments and that continued to question Curiel’s impartiality. “They’ve made hundreds of millions of dollars selling access, selling favors, selling government contracts, and I mean hundreds of millions of dollars”. “When he says, ‘Let’s make America great again, ‘ that is code for, ‘Let’s take America backwards'”. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., said that for Sanders I think the math is unforgiving. Mostly, she expressed empathy of a candidate who knows the bitter taste of defeat. He has drawn massive crowds to rallies around the country and built a fundraising juggernaut based largely on small donations online.

Still, Clinton’s victory has been broadly decisive. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi didn’t wait for the votes Tuesday to announce her support. It takes 1,237 delegates to win the GOP nomination.
