Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton on Monday rejected an invitation to take part in a final campaign debate against her rival Bernie Sanders, her campaign said.

“People have voted for me overwhelmingly in the Democratic primary process”, Ms Clinton told NBC.
Willey maintains Clinton assaulted her in 1993 while Broaddrick said the former president raped her nearly 40 years ago while he was Arkansas Attorney General. Since Mr Trump won the IN primary, forcing the remaining two Republicans Ted Cruz and John Kasich out of the race, Mr Trump has seen his numbers rise as the party establishment slowly, if painfully, begins to accept him as its candidate.
However, the two likely nominees still suffer from the worst public images in the modern history of US presidential politics, with 58 percent viewing Trump negatively and 54 percent expressing similar sentiments about Clinton, the poll shows.
Clinton and her top aides are ready to no longer focus on Sanders and have signaled for the weeks that they are turning their focus to Trump whether the Vermont senator is around or not.
Clinton’s failure to finally put away the Sanders campaign is grating on the former secretary of state. The former secretary of state leads by six points among all adults – down from an 18-point lead in March.
The same polls showed that Mr Sanders had a higher favourability than either candidate and that his chances of beating Mr Trump were higher.
Clinton has said she now considers herself the de facto Democratic nominee.
“I think it’s an awesome opportunity that I’m not going to miss just because I like the other candidate better”.
Bernie Sanders became the target of the former president. “I mean, ask yourself how could anybody lose money running a casino?”
The Washington Post/ABC poll released Sunday showed that in a matchup equation with Trump, Clinton now gets 86% of Democratic voters, meaning that a slice of the party coalition is not yet sold on her as nominee.
Clinton and Sanders are competing aggressively in California as primaries wrap up. Instead, Palmieri indicated that Clinton would prefer to instead continue her pivot to the general election fight against Donald Trump, the likely Republican nominee.
For now, veteran Democrats appear to be ready to give Sanders some room.
