Hillary Clinton
Hillary Clinton has officially clinched the Democratic Party nomination Monday, the Associated Press reports.
She now has 1,812 pledged delegates she’s won in the primaries and caucuses, plus 571 super delegates, according to AP.
Puerto Rico held the contest Sunday that pushed Clinton over the top – to the 2,383 necessary to become the presumptive Democratic Party nominee.
The former secretary of state, New York senator and first lady captured the nomination on the eve of the June 7 primaries in which Democrats were scheduled to hold primaries in six states.
Her rival, Bernie Sanders, said Monday he will “assess” his campaign after California’s primary.
A Sanders win in California, a state he calls the “big enchilada” because it offers 475 Democratic Party delegates, would certainly be embarrassing for Clinton. But it is a possibility, as Sanders and Clinton are neck and neck in the polls, with Clinton leading by an average of only two points.
“Let’s assess where we are after tomorrow before we make statements based on speculation,” Sanders told reporters in California Monday evening. “We are speculating before what is, in fact, the most important primary.”
Clinton will be the first woman in U.S. history to receive a presidential nomination from a major party. Democrats will hold their convention in Philadelphia in July.
