Hillary Clinton’s Historic Achievement
Decisive primary victories for Hillary Clinton give her a strong position going into the general election, and a historic achievement as the first female nominee of a major party, but Bernie Sanders is still insisting he’ll continue his campaign, for reasons known only to him. And his speech last night in California was remarkable for its lack of graciousness toward Clinton.
Hillary Clinton claimed the Democratic presidential nomination on Tuesday night after decisive victories in the California, New Jersey and New Mexico primaries, and she quickly appealed to supporters of Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont to unite with her against Donald J. Trump.
The Associated Press reported early Wednesday that Mrs. Clinton had won California, but Mr. Sanders gave no indication that he would yield, insisting earlier that he would continue his campaign and barely acknowledging her achievement.
