AP declares Clinton presumptive nominee

We expected this Tuesday evening, but it’s finally here, tonight:

Hillary Clinton has earned enough delegates to become the presumptive Democratic nominee, making her the first woman ever to win a major party nomination, the Associated Press reported on Monday night.

A combination of pledged and superdelegates put Clinton over the mark in her contest against Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, according to the AP count. The news agency spent the day surveying superdelegates and updated its figures with those who said they were “unequivocally” for Clinton, according to AP Political Editor David Scott.
