2016 US ELECTION

Clinton making history as US votes in last big primaries

– Unity –

While polls predict a tight race between Clinton and Sanders in California, a loss there would not prove mortal. Clinton has won three million more votes than Sanders and is well ahead in the pledged delegate count.

Her campaign manager said they would celebrate Tuesday night and then focus on unifying the party in a bid to defeat Trump, praising Sanders for his campaign and calling him an “important spokesperson” in the months ahead.

“It will be time for the party to start to come together and make sure that we rally behind our nominee,” Robby Mook told CNN.

“Senator Sanders and his campaign have achieved incredible things. They’ve brought so many people into the process… these people will be so important to winning the general election,” Mook said.

Republican grandees have assailed Trump for making belligerent attacks on a judge presiding over a case against one of his business interests, calling him biased because he is of Mexican descent.

Republican speaker Paul Ryan on Tuesday hit out at Trump’s remarks as “the textbook definition of a racist comment” and “indefensible” but said the party must unite for November.

“I see it as my job as speaker of the house to keep our party unified. I think if we go into the fall as a divided party, we are doomed to lose,” he said.
