“Thanks to you, we’ve reached a milestone”, Clinton said during a speech in Brooklyn celebrating her status as the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.

Mr Ryan said he regretted Mr Trump’s comments, saying “claiming a person can’t do their job because of their race is sort of like the textbook definition of a racist comment”. “It belongs to generations of women and men who struggled and sacrificed and made this moment possible”.
Montana’s primary election also will confirm the party nominees for U.S. House and four statewide offices. That includes 1,812 pledged delegates won in primaries and caucuses, and the support of 571 superdelegates.
“I like what Bernie Sanders says and I agree with nearly everything that he says”, Acosta said.
Sanders and Bill Clinton are wooing voters all over the Bay Area on Monday during the final hours of what’s been an increasingly bitter nominating campaign. For him, sitting on the grass as Dave Matthews played, the Democratic Party rules and the delegate math were rigged against Sanders.
But when asked directly about women who cry at her events when they realize she could become the first woman president, Clinton grew more emotional. In 2008, Clinton believed she needed to project an image of strength to persuade voters she could be the first woman to serve as commander in chief – a “kind of tough single parent” rather than a “first mama”, as Mark Penn, her chief strategist at the time, described it. “I think you are going to find it very informative and very, very interesting”. The former secretary of state, senator and first lady now leads by an average of two percentage points. Neither Clinton nor Trump will be their parties’ official nominees until the formalities of the delegate votes at the parties’ national conventions. So far, 547 superdelegates have committed to Clinton, while only 46 have committed to Sanders. But he still questioned whether he was receiving fair treatment in the case involving the now-defunct Trump University. GOP leaders recoiled at Trump’s comments about a Hispanic judge, with one senator even pulling his endorsement. She says western South Dakota may be a little bit breezy with winds blowing between 15 and 25 miles per hour.
Trump, appearing on CNN, responded to Clinton’s attack.
“I wish I could tell you we are doing well with older people”, he said, “we are not”. Does he need a new, important role in the Senate? She said his slogan, “make America great” is “code for let’s take American backwards”.
But, he added: “The president does have a long, personal relationship with Secretary Clinton”. The speeches will set the trajectory of the general election race and ultimately help decide who wins in November.
Clinton’s delegate count will grow on Tuesday when six states, including delegate-rich California and New Jersey, hold contests.
Bernie Sanders has all but lived in California the past few weeks, holding near daily rallies in his last-ditch effort to overcome Hillary Clinton and win the Democratic nomination. She grew up in a suburb of Minneapolis and got her first taste of the news industry during a high school mentorship at Fox 9 in the Twin Cities.
That said, in the major left-leaning media markets including the Bay Area and Los Angeles, Clinton has touted her strong record on gun control.
Sanders’ appearance after polls close in California will be closely watched for signs of his intentions.
But the Democrats’ popularity with non-white voters gives them a head start in the race to 270 votes in the Electoral College. Sanders has won 1,521. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi didn’t wait for the votes Tuesday to announce her support.
“It is unfortunate that the media, in a rush to judgement, are ignoring the Democratic National Committee’s clear statement that it is wrong to count the votes of superdelegates before they actually vote at the convention this summer”, the statement read. Check out Clinton’s pledged delegate lead at the end of the night.
But Obama has been wary of putting his hand on the scale during a long and sometimes bitter Democratic primary race between Clinton and leftist party rival Bernie Sanders.

“This election isn’t about Republican or Democrat, it’s about who runs this country: the special interests or the people”, he said.
