June 8,2016 (San Diego)—For the first time in U.S. history, a woman is poised to be the nominee of a major political party on the presidential race in November. Hillary Clinton has taken nearly 56 percent of the vote in California over Senator Bernie Sanders at 43 percent, with 99% of precincts reporting, capturing enough pledged delegates to have a majority nationwide.
Clinton, who also leads soundly in superdelegates, is now the presumptive Democratic Party nominee, though Sanders has said he will remain in the race until the July convention.
