  • Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton has now secured the required number of delegates to clinch the Democratic presidential nomination.

    However, Bernie Sanders has stated that since Clinton is dependent on super-delegates who could not vote until July's party convention, her presumptive nomination is still doubtful.
