Clinton, meanwhile, is still fighting on two fronts as she seeks to wrap up her primary battle with Democratic rival Bernie Sanders, a US senator from Vermont.

Many are state party chairs, vice chairs or top officials such as President Barack Obama, who are declining to publicly express a preference for now.
61 percent say they’re concerned about trump’s lack of experience.
Clinton has largely tried to avoid talking about the potential California debate.
This is Trump’s latest effort to pretend he is running against Bill Clinton by repeating worn out, discredited accusations about the former president and blaming Hillary Clinton for her husband’s personal transgressions.
He is intensifying his barrage as he goes all out for a win in the California primary on June 7 that is unlikely to snatch the nomination from Clinton but would hugely increase his leverage over the Democratic Party platform.
Sanders said in a statement Monday that he was disappointed there would be no debate.
“Will people say, ‘Oh, we’re really enthusiastic about Hillary Clinton despite the fact that Bernie Sanders has now won whatever it may be, 25 states, half the states?'” he said. Trump’s favorability rating was 40 percent (a 17-point deficit), while Clinton’s was 41 percent (a 16-point deficit).
“We’re very proud of Hillary Clinton and what she will bring to the Oval Office when she’s president of the United States”, Pelosi said despite praising Sanders for his “positive force” in the Democratic party. Clinton is going up with ads there starting Friday, with spots targeting Hispanic and Asian-American voters, campaign aides told CNN’s Jeff Zeleny, including ads that will be aired in Spanish, Mandarin, Vietnamese and other languages.
11% said they were unsure who they would support.
But Clinton is now backing away from her commitment. “I can’t make my kids” future better, so I’d like to rearrange the deck so I can get a bigger piece of the pie, and I think our differences are more important than our common humanity'”.
Although he realizes it is almost impossible to catch Clinton in the number of delegates overall, Sanders hopes to enter the convention riding a wave of victories. “And we are going to unify the Democratic Party and stop Donald Trump”.
Nationally, Trump saw some positive movement-a CBS News / New York Times national poll released Thursday found that while both Clinton and Trump have high unfavorables, Trump’s unfavorables had dropped from 63 percent last month to 55 percent this month.

Sanders will be allowed to name five members even if he is not the nominee, a gesture that could ease tensions between Sanders’ camp and party leaders whom Sanders has accused of favouring Clinton.
