Hillary Clinton has Enough Delegates to Secure Democratic Nomination

Sanders, a United States senator from Vermont who calls himself a democratic socialist, has commanded huge crowds spilling out of parks and stadiums, galvanising younger voters with his promises to address economic inequality.

Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders speaks to supporters at an election rally in Ventura, California on May 26, 2016.

The Vermont senator has long argued the system is tilted against him, with hundreds of “super-delegates” aligning with Clinton before he even entered the race past year.

CNN’s Chris Frates said the campaign isn’t over yet.

The Sanders campaign acknowledges it is unlikely he can switch enough superdelegates from Clinton to overtake her lead among the party insiders unless he is able to win a majority of the pledged delegates.

Asked by Maddow if he had anything to report on movement, Briggs said that Sanders knows he has an uphill climb, but a mistake “many people have made over the years is to underestimate him”.

“He really took her on”.

He has commanded huge crowds in parks and stadiums, galvanizing younger voters with promises to address economic inequality.

But Clinton, who prefers smaller, round-table events, has continued to edge out Sanders, particularly among older voters with longer ties to the Democratic party.

MSNBC’s Chris Jansing finished the segment saying only two of the six people on the panel will support Clinton if Sanders loses the nomination, with two on the panel planning on protesting the July convention.

Whether Californians’ votes actually “count” in determining the presidential nominees on Tuesday, streams of voters in San Jose and Oakland lined up to drop off their ballots early in the day anyway, including a number of Bernie Sanders supporters intent on sending a message. Clift’s piece strikes a triumphant note about Clinton, stating that “for women born in the middle of the last century”-like Clift-“this is the kind of unimagined achievement that makes you wonder if you stepped into the middle of a new Broadway play, perhaps ‘Hamilton’ spun in another way to make the Founding Fathers turn over in their graves”. That’s what’s got to change now.

Clinton’s rise to presumptive nominee arrived almost eight years to the day after she conceded her first White House campaign to Barack Obama. He didn’t appear ready to do so Monday night after the AP found that Clinton had secured enough delegates to clinch the nomination.

Her debut as a political spouse started in 1979 when her husband Bill Clinton became the governor of Arkansas.

Democrats Abroad New Zealand chair Kat Allikian said local poll results show more Americans here were backing Bernie Sanders. And how did that happen?

Meanwhile, Trump’s again landed himself in hot water with his own party after comments he made about a USA judge. Trump called him biased because he is of Mexican descent.

House Speaker Paul Ryan said Tuesday that Trump’s comments about the judge – Trump said he couldn’t get a fair shake on a lawsuit because of the judge’s Mexican heritage – were “sort of like the textbook definition of a racist comment”. “There’s an intense dislike of Trump among Democrats”, said Mitchell.

“I’ve been waiting for this for so long”, McCarthy said. I hope you’ll go to my Web site at HillaryClinton.com and share your thoughts with me and help in any way that you can. “I’m going to defend our agenda”.

A Trump campaign spokeswoman Katrina Pierson believes he’ll still be president.

“We’re on the verge of making history, and we’re going to celebrate that tonight”, Mook told CNN.
