Clinton has delegates to clinch White House nomination: US media
Hillary Clinton – the former secretary of State, senator from NY and first lady – has secured enough delegates to claim the Democratic nomination, the first woman in American history to do so, an Associated Press count has found.

If Clinton does secure the nomination, this would make her the first woman to secure a major party nomination for president.
“According to the news, we are on the brink of a historic, historic, unprecedented moment, but we still have work to do, don’t we?”
Her campaign manager, Robby Mook, said the media call on Clinton was an “important milestone”.
That’s based on the delegates she earned in Puerto Rico over the weekend, as well as the superdelegates who have pledged to vote for her in July.
However, Sanders, who does not seem to be giving up so easily said he meant to stay in the race until the party’s convention in July.
He says calling the Democratic contest before superdelegates formally vote at the convention is a “rush to judgment”.
Hoping to defeat Clinton in California and elsewhere, Sanders has said some super delegates now backing Clinton could change their minds ahead of the convention in July.
The campaign was still seeking to convince senior Democrats that Sanders was the best candidate to defeat Donald Trump in the U.S. election in November. As the AP reported Monday, Hillary Clinton has secured enough delegates to win.
Clinton, a former secretary of state, NY senator and first lady, leads Sanders by three million votes, 291 pledged delegates and 523 superdelegates, according to AP’s count.
California, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico and South Dakota all hold primaries Tuesday, and North Dakota holds a caucus.
She has also became the first spouse of a former president to win the presidential nomination in her own right.
Among superdelegates, Clinton has the support of 571. “I’m not going to deny that for a second”.
“I do, I do”, Clinton said.
She surpassed the threshold Monday after a number of super-delegates – current and former elected officials and political activists who are not bound to vote for a specific candidate – recently committed to back her candidacy, according to the AP.
Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton now becomes the presumptive Democratic nominee.

“I think we’ll probably have a pretty good sense next week of who the nominee will end up being”, Obama said in that speech.
