The victory arrived nearly eight years to the day after she conceded her first White House cam- paign to Barack Obama. Back then, she famously noted her inability to "shat- ter that highest, hardest glass ceiling." Campaigning this time as the loyal successor to the nation's first black president, Clinton held off a surprisingly strong chal- lenge from Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. He mobi- lized millions with a fer- vently liberal message and his insurgent candidacy re- vealed a deep level of na- tional frustration with pol- itics-as-usual, even among Democrats who have con- trolled the White House since 2009. Clinton, the former sec- retary of state, New York senator and first lady, reached the 2,383 delegates needed to become the pre- sumptive Democratic nom- inee on Monday with a de- cisive weekend victory in Puerto Rico and a burst of last-minute support from superdelegates. Those are party officials and office- holders, many of them ea- ger to wrap up the pri- mary amid preference polls showing her in a tightening race with presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump. Clinton has 1,812 pledged delegates won in primaries and caucuses. She also has the support of 571 superdelegates, ac- cording to an Associated Press count. The AP surveyed all 714 superdelegates repeatedly in the past seven months, and only 95 remain publicly uncommitted. While superdelegates will not formally cast their votes for Clinton until the party's July convention in Philadelphia, all those counted in her tally have unequivocally told the AP they will do so. "We really need to bring a close to this primary pro- cess and get on to defeat- ing Donald Trump," said Nancy Worley, a superdele- gate who chairs Alabama's Democratic Party and pro- vided one of the last en- dorsements to put Clinton over the top. Clinton outpaced Sand- ers in winning new su- perdelegate endorsements even after his string of pri- mary and caucus wins in May. Following the results in Puerto Rico, it is no lon- ger possible for Sanders to reach the 2,383 needed to win the nomination based on the remaining available pledged delegates and un- committed superdelegates. Sanders said this past weekend he plans to fight on until the convention, promising to make the case to superdelegates that he is better positioned to beat Trump in November. Su- perdelegates can change their minds. But since the start of the AP's survey in late 2015, no superdelegates have switched from sup- porting Clinton to backing Sanders. Indeed, Clinton's vic- tory is broadly decisive. She leads Sanders by more than 3 million cast votes, by 291 pledged delegates and by 523 superdelegates. She won 29 caucuses and pri- maries to his 21 victories. That's a far bigger mar- gin than Obama had in 2008, when he led Clinton by 131 pledged delegates and 105 superdelegates at the point he clinched the nomination. PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN AP c ou nt : Cl in to n ha s de le ga te s to win Democratic nomination JOHNLOCHER—THEASSOCIATEDPRESS Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton visits a restaurant on Monday in Watts. By Jill Colvin, Steve Peoples and Julie Bykowicz The Associated Press WASHINGTON Donald Trump is wasting precious time. By now, the presump- tive Republican presiden- tial nominee was sup- posed to have stationed se- nior staff in battleground states, moderated his fiery message to attract new sup- porters and begun raking in big money. Instead, he's spend- ing more time right now picking fights and settling scores than delivering a message that might help draw voters. Five long weeks since he defeated his last remaining GOP rival, Republicans fear the New York billionaire has squandered his head start. As Democrat Hillary Clinton eyes her party's nomination, Trump's cam- paign has been roiled by in- fighting, his battleground strategy is lagging and his fundraising operation is barely off the ground. "I am getting bad marks from certain pundits be- cause I have a small cam- paign staff. But small is good, flexible, save money and number one!" Trump insisted on Twitter. Some would-be Re- publican supporters also fear his unwillingness to budge from a flame-throw- ing formula targeting im- migrants and Muslims that worked so well in the GOP primary. Case in point: Trump's recent comments about the Mexican heritage of the judge presiding over a case against his now-defunct Trump University. The Re- publican businessman has refused to back down from his claim that the judge's ethnic background creates a conflict of interest, draw- ing scorn from across the GOP as well as the legal community. "Once you go down that road, you destroy Amer- ica," former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a promi- nent Trump supporter, said Monday in a radio inter- view with "The John Gib- son Show." Trump also has been slow to adapt to other con- tours of an expansive gen- eral election. Since Ted Cruz dropped out of the race last month, he has spent precious little time in the battleground states that will likely decide the election. He has ignored Florida and Ohio, preferring to spend the bulk of the past two weeks in California, which hasn't supported a Republican presidential candidate in nearly three decades. The ongoing rivalry between aides loyal to Trump's campaign man- ager Corey Lewandowski and to campaign chairman Paul Manafort appears to affect virtually all aspects of the campaign. Two weeks ago, polit- ical director Rick Wiley was fired in the midst of a battleground hiring effort. While the campaign hoped to have senior staff in place across 15 states by June 1, the ex-political director did not finalize a single hire be- fore leaving, according to an aide with direct knowl- edge of the hiring who was not authorized to speak publicly. The positions remained unfilled as the factions pushed separate candi- dates to step in as Trump's political director. Two cam- paign aides said Manafort appeared to win that bat- tle, getting Trump to hire Jim Murphy, a Republican operative who was involved in Bob Dole's failed presi- dential campaigns. The aides insisted on anonym- ity because they were not authorized to discuss the hiring privately. But Murphy's hiring was a surprise to others in Trump's inner circle, un- derscoring the level of con- fusion. Trump's slow start with fundraising also has sparked widespread con- cern across the party. Trump and the Repub- lican National Committee spent weeks hashing out a money-raising plan after he became the presump- tive nominee and stopped funding his White House bid largely with his own fortune. Yet starting from scratch has been a slow process. Trump held a small do- nor gathering ahead of a May 24 rally in Albuquer- que and a large fundraiser the next day at the Los An- geles home of Tom Barrack, a good friend and fellow real estate investor. He pep- pered the rest of his Cali- fornia primary swing with smaller financial events, said Steven Mnuchin, Trump's national finance chairman. By comparison, Clin- ton and her top surrogates have hosted some 17 Cali- fornia fundraisers since May 1 alone.
