SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — History already in hand, Hillary Clinton will celebrate becoming the first woman to lead a major American political party Tuesday following votes in California, New Jersey and four other states — contests Clinton hopes send her into the general election in strong standing.
Clinton reached the 2,383 delegates needed to become the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee on the eve of Tuesday's voting, according to an Associated Press tally. Her total is comprised of pledged delegates won in primaries and caucuses, as well as superdelegates — the party officials and officeholders who can back a candidate of their choosing.
BOSTON – U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the senior senator from Massachusetts, kept up her attacks on Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, declaring on Monday that he's a product of "extremism" fomented by her GOP Senate colleagues.
On Saturday, Warren blasted the former reality television star at the state Democratic convention in Lowell. "Here's a man who builds a business to profit off other peoples' pain," Warren said to cheers, according to the State House News Service. "He wants to be Commander in Chief, but he's only qualified to be Fraudster-in-Chief."
