Hillary Clinton has delegates to clinch nomination, AP reports – as it happened

“Let’s go forward and win this election in November,” she finishes - her second speech in a row not to address Sanders directly.

But that line - “we welcome everyone to be a part of this campaign just as we welcome everyone to be a part of this administration” could well be read as a peace-offering to the Sanders campaign on the eve of the California primary.

“We are going to run a grassroots campaign, a broad base campaign, where we reach out and welcome everyone to be part of this campaign just as we welcome everyone to be a part of this administration, to make sure we have a Democrat following Barack Obama,” she says, as perhaps an oblique offer of an olive-branch to Bernie Sanders.

Clinton is speaking in Hollywood

“It is not an overstatement for me to say that we have a really important election ahead of us now,” she says, her tone victorious. “California is really important, California is going to help us ... and were going to come out of the primary even stronger to take on Donald Trump.”

She’s striking out at Trump. Just mention of her speech last week in San Diego gets a cheer. “Enough with the fear, enough with the anger, enough with the bigotry, enough with the bullying.”

“Donald Trump is not qualified to be president of the United States of America.”

FIveThirtyEight’s Harry Enten puts the percentage of delegates Clinton needs to win tomorrow to finish with a majority of pledged delegates at 31%, well below her average.

How do you argue with a majority of pledged delegates? If you’re Bernie Sanders, you make the case that you’re the better candidate to take on Donald Trump in the general election, and as long as superdelegates are required to call it one way or another, a call for Sanders would be as valid as a call for Clinton.

But it’s conceivable that Clinton, and the millions of people who voted for her (millions more than Sanders), might not go for that result, which does not appear to be happening anyway, in terms of any observable superdelegate movement away from Clinton and towards Sanders.

Hillary Clinton’s primary eve party at the Greek Theatre in Hollywood was star-studded, writes the Guardian’s Nicky Woolf:

Chloe Grace Moretz posed for photographs inside the entrance. John Legend has sung; Eva Longoria just introduced Ricky Martin to the stage. Christina Aguilera and Stevie Wonder were all on the setlist.

But there was a sense that celebration over the AP’s call this afternoon that Clinton had clinched the delegates required to be the presumptive nominee might be premature.

“I know you saw the AP said we already had the nomination – do not let that keep you away,” said Longoria, before introducing Ricky Martin. “We need California. We need New Jersey. ... please find your polling place.”

Sean Harrington, an attendee at the concert who had been a Clinton supporter since the beginning, said that his main reaction to the news was relief. “I expected this,” he said, “but I’m hoping it convinces Bernie Sanders supporters to recognize the stakes.”

“I’m an idealist as well,” he added, “but given the stakes it’s important that we unify as a party.”

Ricky Martin rocks the Clinton event:

CNN’s delegate count squares with the AP’s:

The network has published a piece explaining its reporting that Clinton “has clinched the Democratic nomination by securing the majority of delegates at this time:

CNN adds a superdelegate to its overall delegate estimate if any of the following occurs: 1) the superdelegate tells CNN directly whom he or she is supporting (either through our canvassing or our overall reporting); 2) the superdelegate publicly announces his or her support either in a public event, public statement, press release, or in a posting on a verified social media platform; 3) an authorized spokesman for the superdelegate confirms the endorsement to CNN or issues a public statement; 4) the presidential campaign receiving the endorsement makes a public announcement.

Sanders: 'this campaign is going to win'

Bernie Sanders spokesman Michael Briggs pushed back on the notion that Clinton had clinched the nomination, dubbing the reports as “a rush to judgment.”
“It counts superdelegates that the Democratic National Committee itself says should not be counted because they haven’t voted,” Briggs told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow on Monday evening, adding that the potential remained for the superdelegates to change their minds.
Asked when the Sanders campaign would consider the race to be over, Briggs demurred.
“He’s led a dramatic revolutionary insurgency in the party,” he said of Sanders, “and we are trying our darndest to give those people the voice that they have earned and deserved in the Democratic Party process.”
During his own appearance on the same program, Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager Robby Mook said the news was “very exciting” but reiterated that the candidate was not taking anything for granted ahead of Tuesday’s primary contests.
“Hillary made a pledge at the beginning of this campaign that she’s going to fight for every single vote, fight for every single delegate. I think the proof is in the results,” Mook said.
“Hillary leads right now by more than 3 million popular votes. She has a lead of almost 300 pledged delegates. She’s won more states and we want to continue building on that lead going into – going into these final contest.s”
“That’s what we’re focused on right now. Obviously this news is very exciting, but we’re focused,” he added. “Our nose is on the grindstone and we’re going to keep working until the polls close tomorrow.”

Sanders scene: 'There are 6,500 fucking people here and you’re going to report the mood is somber?'

Guardian West Coast bureau chief Paul Lewis is at a Bernie Sanders rally in San Francisco, where some members of the crowd are none too happy with the journalists on hand.

“Sanders is now on stage,” Paul writes:

Some the Sanders crowd have started sniping with journalists in the media pen in scenes reminiscent of Donald Trump rallies.

“You’re not journalists, shame on you,” said Chris Einfeldt, jabbing his fingers at reporters from CNN and NPR. An attorney who said he had given up his job in September to run phone banks for the senator, Einfeldt accused the mainstream media of participating in a conspiracy to get Clinton elected.

“I don’t think the mood is somber,” he said, when asked about the atmosphere in the crowd, which was subdued compared to other rallies. “There are 6,500 fucking people here and you’re going to report the mood is somber? That isn’t journalism, it’s advocacy.”

Trump claims credit for 'breaking glass ceiling' in construction industry

The former secretary of state isn’t the only candidate to tout her/his record of “breaking glass ceilings” on behalf of women.

In an interview Monday night with Fox News, Donald Trump said: “I was the one that really broke the glass ceiling on behalf of women more than anybody in construction industry.”

The statement came after the Republican nominee pushed back against a Boston Globe story that he paid men more than women on his campaign.

Clinton camp ambivalent at AP call

The Associated Press announced at 8:19 ET that Hillary Clinton had clinched the Democratic nomination. The problem for the Clinton camp was that her victory party is planned for tomorrow night – and her team did not seem particularly happy with the AP stealing its thunder, writes the Guardian’s Lauren Gambino:
Clinton tweeted she was “flattered” by the AP’s call but there were states yet to win. Her campaign manager, Robby Mook, followed by every person authorized to speak publicly on her team, quickly moved to remind voters to please! vote! tomorrow!
“This is an important milestone, but there are six states that are voting Tuesday,” Mook, said in a statement. The barely concealed subtext was a wish for the candidate not to be in the position of declaring victory and simultaneously coming up short in California, the delegates mother lode.

Clinton sent supporters an email flagging the message, however, thanking them for the good news while declaring the primary season not yet over - and asking for their contribution.

The rest of Clinton’s constellation, meanwhile – her top surrogates and moneymakers – went silent. The two largest superPacs supporting Clinton said they are waiting until Tuesday night to issue a statement. Her surrogates’ Twitter accounts were business as usual: breaking down barriers and taking shots at Trump.

Even former president Bill Clinton stuck to the message, marking his wife’s historic ascension with a “what she said” and an emoji.

Clinton: 'we will fight hard for every vote'

Clinton just wrapped her penultimate primary campaign event in California with a speech which approached victorious in tone, reports the Guardian’s Nicky Woolf:

In front of a crowd of around 1,000 at Long Beach City College, Clinton said that “according to the news, we are on the brink of a historic moment.”

“But we still have work to do,” she continued. “We will fight hard for every vote especially here in California.”

Notable for his absence from her speech was Bernie Sanders, whom the former secretary of state didn’t mention once in her remarks, though she did call for unity in general terms, saying “the final thing I would ask you to consider is how to unite our country … Abraham Lincoln said a house divided cannot stand, and he was right.”

“We have to start listening to each other and respecting each other,” she added.

Clinton did, however, strike out several times at the presumptive Republican nominee for president, saying that she “cannot wait” to debate Donald Trump, and noting that when asked about his foreign policy credentials he said that he had “brought the Miss Universe pageant to Moscow.”

How likely is Hillary Clinton to win the Democratic presidential nomination? Guardian Washington bureau chief Dan Roberts digs into his pockets and comes up with very many “very’s”:

Our own Nicky Woolf is reporting from the trail with the Clinton campaign:

The Clinton campaign is pouring some serious ice on the AP announcement, and not the kind that comes out of a Gatorade cooler:

Clinton camp: 'an important milestone'

Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook has released a statement that seriously downplays the 2,383 threshold and predicts that Clinton on Tuesday will cross the 2,026 pledged-delegate mark, which would give her a majority of pledged delegates.

She’s currently at 1,812 pledged delegates, by the AP count (see below).

This is an important milestone, but there are six states that are voting Tuesday, with millions of people heading to the polls, and Hillary Clinton is working to earn every vote. We look forward to Tuesday night, when Hillary Clinton will clinch not only a win in the popular vote, but also the majority of pledged delegates.”

– Campaign Manager Robby Mook

democrats

Clinton sympathizers are circling the wagons to underscore the legitimacy – or at least hidebound-ness – of the nomination process, which Sanders and Donald Trump have done so much this cycle to challenge:

The most effective argument from the Clinton side on the question of whether a majority-with-superdelegates makes an actual majority, perhaps, is her own decision to concede a closer nominating fight to Barack Obama eight years ago.

Here’s a good point about whether the timing of AP’s call falls nicely for Clinton: It doesn’t, in the sense that if California supporters feel she’s already won, they may be less likely to turn out and vote for her.

The same effect may hold for Sanders supporters, however – might they be discouraged by morning headlines announcing her victory?

And as we call it her “victory,” here’s a printed (typed at least) reminder that it is possible, however unlikely it may seem, for those superdelegates to shift from Clinton to Sanders. He’d also need to win a big majority of the remaining pledged delegates, however, to make it add up to a nomination. Our comprehensive delegate tracker is here.

Sanders says Clinton has not clinched nomination

Bernie Sanders tells the AP that superdelegates don’t count until the convention. He’s correct that no delegates vote until the convention. Whether his argument that superdelegates are likely or motivated to leave Clinton at this stage is persuasive depends on where you sit:

Here’s the latest AP count: she’s right at 2,383:

Clinton clinches nomination – AP count

With “a burst of last-minute support from superdelegates,” Hillary Clinton has crossed the threshold of 2,383 delegates needed to clinch the Democratic presidential nomination, the Associated Press reported late Monday.

Clinton appeared to have collected at least two dozen superdelegate commitments late in the day, after climbing to 2,360 delegates in contests over the weekend in the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.

Neither the Clinton campaign nor the campaign of her rival, Bernie Sanders, responded immediately to requests for comment.

Clinton had said that she expected to clear the “historic” hurdle making her the first woman nominee of a major political party sometime on Tuesday evening, after results began to come in from Democratic contests in six states.

Sanders had said he would stay in the Democratic race through the convention in July, especially if he turned in a strong performance in the California primary Tuesday.

Arnold Schwarzenegger: truly not a Trump supporter.

Florida AG solicited Trump cash as her office weighed joining Trump U probe

“Florida’s attorney general personally solicited a political contribution from Donald Trump around the same time her office deliberated joining an investigation of alleged fraud at Trump University and its affiliates,” the AP reports:

The new disclosure from Attorney General Pam Bondi’s spokesman to The Associated Press on Monday provides additional details around the unusual circumstances of Trump’s $25,000 donation to Bondi. After the money came in, Bondi’s office nixed suing Trump.

The money came from a Trump family foundation in apparent violation of rules surrounding political activities by charities. A political group backing Bondi’s re-election, called And Justice for All, reported receiving the check Sept. 17, 2013 — four days after Bondi publicly announced she was considering joining a New York state probe of Trump University’s activities.

Marc Reichelderfer, a political consultant who worked for Bondi’s re-election effort and fielded questions on the donation at her request, told AP that Bondi spoke with Trump “several weeks” before her office publicly announced it was deliberating whether to join a multi-state lawsuit proposed by New York’s Democratic attorney general. Reichelfelder said Bondi was unaware of dozens of consumer complaints received by her office about Trump University filed before she requested the donation.

“The process took at least several weeks, from the time they spoke to the time they received the contribution,” Reichelderfer told AP.

The timing of the donation by Trump is notable because the now presumptive Republican presidential nominee has said he expected and received favors from politicians to whom he gave money.

“When I want something I get it,” the presumptive Republican nominee said at an Iowa rally in January. “When I call, they kiss my ass. It’s true.”

Read the full piece here. “By choosing not to pursue Trump in court, Bondi left the unhappy students on their own to try to get refunds from the celebrity businessman,” the piece concludes.

Clinton pivots to gun violence in afternoon rally

Hillary Clinton pivoted to gun violence and its impact on African American communities in her rally at Leimert Park, a historic African Anerican neighborhood in southern Los Angeles.

She vowed action on guns and judicial reform – and earned cheers when she cited her husband’s White House record.

The cheering was enthusiastic, if not rapturous. There was no sign of Black Lives Matter protestors who have targeted Clinton before over the spike in incarcerations in the 1990s.

Some brief condemnations of Donald Trump’s broadsides against Latinos earned subdued cheers. There has been occasional tension in southern LA between African Americans and Latinos, who have become majorities in many neighborhoods.

Clinton dwelt on immigration reform in an earlier rally at Plaza Mexico in nearby Lynwood, which is largely Latino.

Donald Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson fastidiously declines to agree that faulting Trump’s sister, federal appeals judge Maryanne Barry, because she is a woman would be “awful”, depending on “her decisions in the past.”

Several hundred people are awaiting Hillary Clinton in Leimert Park, a historic artistic and African American district in southern Los Angeles, writes the Guardian’s Rory Carroll:

Clinton is not here yet, but it’s already bigger and livelier than this morning’s rally in Latino-dominant Lynwood.

Warm-up man Jason George, the Grey’s Anatomy actor, asked if anyone planned to vote for Bernie Sanders. About a dozen raised hands. He pleaded with them to support Clinton after tomorrow’s vote. “Let’s agree we’re all moving in the same direction,” he said. “We need to defeat Donald Trump.”

Gregory Hooker (pictured below), a retired clinical social worker who supports Sanders, is reconciled to Clinton winning the Democratic nomination. He said he will back her in November, reluctantly.

“Anyone else, I wouldn’t vote for her, but she’s running against Satan. I’m extremely anxious about Trump. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was elected.”

Cruz calls Trump attack on judge 'inappropriate'

Asked about Donald Trump’s imputation of bias to judge Gonzalo Curiel based on Curiel’s Mexican heritage, former presidential candidate Ted Cruz, who father is a Cuban emigré, said Trump’s assertion was “inappropriate”:

Of course it’s inappropriate to be attacking federal judges’ race or ethnicity. You’re going to have to ask Donald to explain why he says the things he does. I’m not going to try to do so.

Obama talks retirement with Peyton Manning

Barack Obama and American football idol Peyton Manning, who enjoyed a stellar 18-year career in the NFL, exchanged banter about retirement at the White House on Monday.

The US president was hosting the Super Bowl champions, the Denver Broncos, whom he described as “a gritty, hard-nosed group of grinders” and one of the best defences of all time.

Manning, 40, who quit the sport in March, and other Broncos players stood behind Obama in the rose garden to celebrate their victory over the Carolina Panthers.

Obama poked fun at Manning’s prolific new career featuring in TV commercials.

“Anybody who’s been a football fan has watched what is one of the greatest hall of fame careers ever,” he said of the only quarter ]back to lead two different teams to Super Bowl wins. “We were all obviously a little disappointed to see him hanging up this spring but, as somebody who’s just a little bit older than he is, I’m sympathetic to the idea that running around with these guys, it takes its toll. But it is great to see somebody with a career like that, who always conducted himself on the field and off the field the way he did, to be able to go out on top.”

The audience burst into applause. A smiling Obama added: “Peyton and I were talking back there and he said, ‘Yeah, you should try it, don’t overstay your welcome.’ But I got term limits so I had no choice, I can’t.”

Manning laughed. The team presented him with an ‘Obama 44’ shirt and helmet. But the president, ever loyal to Chicago, confessed: “I will continue to root for the Bears.”

Ryan opponent releases 'drug smuggling' ad

Now that House speaker Paul Ryan has endorsed Donald Trump for president, he may be losing less sleep over Sarah Palin’s ominous warning that Ryan’s failure to back Trump could cost him his seat in Congress.

But Ryan’s primary opponent is not giving up. Paul Nehlen has traveled all the way to Texas – and spent money on helicopter footage – to don gumboots and trudge through a muddy stream carrying a plastic crate with the word “drugs” written on it in what looks like white athletic tape. He says the stream is the Rio Grande but there’s no tape to prove it.

“Smuggling drugs into America shouldn’t be this easy,” Nehlen says. “But it is.”

“Cheap Mexican heroin – is killing – Americans in record numbers,” a winded Nehlen says. His campaign stipulated the crate only symbolically contains drugs but whatever’s in it is apparently sort of heavy.

“It’s gotta stop,” Nehlen continues. “Paul Ryan’s had 18 years to fix this, and he’s failed.”

Paul Ryan’s drug problem.

Trump campaign paid women less than men

Women working for the Donald Trump campaign made on average about three-quarters of what men on staff made in April, according to a Boston Globe analysis:

The women who work for Trump — who account for about 28 percent of his total staff — made an average of about $4,500 in April, according to the Globe analysis. The men made nearly $6,100, or about 35 percent more. The disparity is slightly greater than the gender pay gap nationally.

Of the 15 highest-paid employees for that month, only two were women.

The analysis of Trump campaign records also revealed that Trump’s staff comprised only about 9% minorities, compared with about a third on Hillary Clinton’s staff. Read the full piece here.

Trump orders surrogates to intensify attacks on judge, journalists

Donald Trump told surrogates on a conference call Monday to “throw out” an internal memo instructing them to stop talking about the Trump University fraud cases, Bloomberg Politics reports. Instead, Trump said, according to two unnamed sources on the call, surrogates should attack journalists who ask whether it is racist for Trump to brandish the presiding judge’s Mexican heritage as “bias”.

“The people asking the questions—those are the racists,” Trump said, according to two unnamed sources cited by Bloomberg. “I would go at ‘em.”

Trump told the Wall Street Journal last week that judge Gonzalo Curiel’s Mexican heritage presents “absolute conflict” in the class-action fraud cases against his university owing to Trump’s proposal that a wall be erected between the United States and Mexico. At the weekend Trump said it was possible that American Muslim judges would also be biased against him.

Trump appeared to grow frustrated on the call when he found out an internal campaign memo had instructed surrogates not to talk about Trump University and instead to refer to the court cases as ongoing.

“Take that order and throw it the hell out,” Trump said, according to Bloomberg. “Are there any other stupid letters that were sent to you folks? That’s one of the reasons I want to have this call, because you guys are getting sometimes stupid information from people that aren’t so smart.”

Trump also reportedly said, “We will overcome”.

And I’ve always won and I’m going to continue to win. And that’s the way it is.

Clinton flays Trump over 'outrageous' attack on judge

Hillary Clinton has launched a sharp attack on Donald Trump over his contention that federal judge Gonzalo Curiel’s Mexican heritage should disqualify Curiel from presiding over Trump University cases.

“[Curiel] was born in Indiana. He is as American as I am and he’s as American as Donald Trump is,” Clinton said, continuing:

Clinton in Los Angeles: ‘we need to stop this divisiveness’.

Trump doesn’t want you to pay attention to what this case is revealing. So he is attacking the judge and saying, outrageously, that the judge, who is of Mexican heritage, cannot serve fairly over his case. Just yesterday he said well, because of all the negative things he has said about American Muslims, he doesn’t know that an American Muslim judge could fairly preside over a case. I’m waiting for him to say because of all the bigoted things he has said about women that a woman judge couldn’t preside.

By the time he’s finished, no one’s going to be left in this country that he is going to have exempted from insults. We need to stop this divisiveness, this bullying and bigotry. And the best way to do this is to send a big message tomorrow.

While Bernie Sanders defended his unlikely campaign strategy at a press conference in San Francisco, Hillary Clinton reflected on how it felt to be on the verge of making history during a campaign stop in Compton.

“It’s really emotional,” Clinton told reporters after a tour of a community center in Compton. “I am someone who has been very touched and really encouraged by this extraordinary conviction that people have, predominantly women and girls but not exclusively. Men bring their daughters to meet me and tell me that they are supporting me because of their daughters.”

“I do think that it will make a very big difference for a father or a mother to be able to look at their daughter just as they can look at their son and say you can be anything you want to be in this country, including president of the United States.”

Clinton is expected to make history as the first female presidential nominee on Tuesday. She needs fewer than 30 delegates to clinch the nomination, and is expected to cross the finish line in New Jersey, even before polls close in California. Asked if Sanders should drop out after the California primary, Clinton demurred and then noted that exactly eight years from Tuesday, she conceded the primary race to then-senator Barack Obama.

“I believed it was the right thing to do no matter what differences we had in our long campaign,” she said. “They paled in comparison to the differences we had with the Republicans, and that is actually even more true today.”

Responding to reports that the president could endorse her as early as Wednesday, Clinton said: “Obviously I’m excited to have the president’s support. As I said in my campaign, I was honored to serve in his cabinet as secretary of state. I look forward to campaigning with the president and everybody else.”

Obama has refused to intervene in the Democratic primary, but has tacitly voiced support for his former secretary of state over Sanders, whose campaign is effectively a referendum on his economic legacy.

Former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has apparently voted for Ohio governor John Kasich in the California Republican primary.

Bernie Sanders remained defiant at a news conference in northern California on Monday saying he has no intention of dropping out of the race and that he can win the nomination by taking the Golden State and then convincing unpledged “super-delegates” to back him.

“My focus is on winning the largest state in our country,” Sanders said at the event in a hotel in Emeryville, across the bay from San Francisco, when reporters asked him whether he would drop out and endorse Hillary Clinton if he loses California on Tuesday.

“You’re asking me to speculate. Let me just talk to you after the primary here in California where we hope to win. Let’s assess where we are after tomorrow,” he added.

The Vermont senator got testy with one reporter who asked him to respond to female voters who believe it’s sexist for him to remain in the race despite being far behind Clinton in his delegate count.

“Is that a serious question?” he responded. “Your question implies that any woman who is running for president is by definition the best candidate. … I don’t think it is sexist. … I believe I’m the stronger candidate.”

Sanders said his campaign has already convinced about four super-delegates – who are unpledged and free to change their votes – to back him. “There’s no question that we are going to get more,” he said. “We are in private conversations. We have seen a little bit of momentum.”

He said more super-delegates will flip when they look at “the objective evidence of polling [and] … the objective evidence of who has the strongest grassroots campaign”. Sanders has refused to entertain the idea that his campaign may be over even though Clinton’s win in Puerto Rico over the weekend means she is fewer than 30 delegates short of the 2,838 required to win the nomination.

Polls show that Clinton and Sanders are in a very tight race for California’s 546 delegates, with some suggesting that the Vermont senator may be leading by one point. Clinton and Sanders have both had jam-packed schedules of rallies across California, and Sanders fans have argued that their candidate will launch a comeback in the Golden State that will allow him to fight for the nomination in a contested convention.Sanders said on Tuesday he has held 38 events in 34 cities and towns across California, reaching 215,000 people.

Six states will apportion more than 700 delegates on Tuesday, and it’s possible that Clinton will clinch the nomination on the east coast before the polls have even closed in California.

In the short event, Sanders repeated his claims that he is in a better position to take on Trump in the general election. “I am very proud that in virtually every national poll and in every statewide poll … we are defeating Trump and we are defeating him badly,” he said, adding of Clinton, “In some cases, she is actually losing to Trump when we are defeating him.”

Clinton for weeks has said her lead is insurmountable. Although she does not need California to win, a Sanders victory would be a big public relations loss for the frontrunner and could be used as further justification for Sanders staying in the race.

In recent weeks, Clinton has been criticized for her limited press availabilities, with reporters and Donald Trump noting that the former secretary of state has not held a formal press conference since December.

Marco Rubio: 'I warned this was going to happen'

Florida senator, former presidential candidate and Johnny-come-lately Donald Trump supporter Marco Rubio told a local ABC affiliate that the presumptive Republican presidential nominee’s racialized criticism of federal judge Gonzalo Curiel, who presides over the multi-state fraud suit against Trump University, is “wrong.”

“I think it’s wrong,” Rubio told ABC affiliate WFTV. “He needs to stop saying it.”

“[Curiel] is an American, born in the US, a judge who has earned that position,” he continued. “I don’t think it reflects well in the Republican Party. I don’t think it reflects wells on us as a nation.”

Rubio had informally endorsed Trump after a bitter primary contest, telling a Miami radio station that “I’ve always said I’m going to support the Republican nominee, and that’s especially true now that it’s apparent that Hillary Clinton.”

Since then, however, Rubio has kept the nominee at arm’s length, deflating speculation that he might serve as Trump’s running mate. “While Republican voters have chosen Donald Trump as the presumptive GOP nominee, my previously stated reservations about his campaign and concerns with many of his policies remain unchanged,” Rubio said at the time.

Trump’s criticism of Curiel appears to have girded Rubio on his continued skepticism: the Florida senator told WFTV that “I ran for president and I warned this was going to happen.”

A highly scientific poll of six Latino voters in the McDonald’s beside Hillary Clinton’s imminent rally in Plaza Mexico, Lynwood, suggests she will sweep California’s Latinos. Or at least those that munch breakfast in this corner of southern Los Angeles.

Five said they planned to vote for the former secretary of state on Tuesday, citing her experience and happy memories of her husband’s time in office. “I trust in her knowledge and experience,” said Maria de la Madrid, 53, a cosmetologist. “And I remember Bill Clinton. They were a good team. They know how the system works.”

Honrada Fombona, 79, agreed. “Hillary is a complete woman in every sense of the word. Accomplished.”

As they spoke police deployed around Plaza Mexico, an auditorium and shopping complex. It was a grey, overcast day - typical “June gloom” weather. Javier Martinez, 73, a retired garment cutter, said it was time for a change - and that Clinton would deliver it. “She’s had top jobs, did them magnificently.”

Five of the six expressed varying degrees of sympathy for Bernie Sanders but felt they didn’t know him well enough. “I never heard of him until a few months ago,” said Gerardo Valdez, 65, a retired machine operator.

Real polls suggest many young Latinos feel the Bern, but that was news to Valdez. “I don’t anyone who plans to vote for him.”

Only Napo Fombana, 50, said he would not vote. “Nah. I don’t have time.”

Update: Four young Latinos here are feeling the Bern, ish.

“I think I’m feeling it,” said Oscar Ibarra, 24. Why? “Hmm. I don’t know.”

His friends Cindy Negrete, 21, and Diane Negrete, 23, fellow students at East Los Angeles community college, reminded him: free college tuition. If come November the choice is Clinton or Donald Trump they said they would back the former first lady on the grounds the Republican candidate was, among other things, a “clown”.

Juan Ibarra, 22, also favoured Sanders but care more about the pot legalisation measure inTuesday’sballot.

Huma Abedin is standing in her kitchen, shortly after her husband Anthony Weiner’s candidacy for mayor of New York City has been rocked by new revelations in the sexting scandal that forced him to resign from Congress in 2011.

A voice from behind a camera perched inside her Manhattan apartment asks her to describe how she feels. After some silence as she makes a cup of coffee, Abedin offers a sole observation as she walks away: “It’s like living a nightmare.”

The scene is one of many painful moments in Weiner – a revelatory documentary about the former congressman’s failed effort to revive his political career in the 2013 New York race. Its arrival in the heat of a presidential election has cast a spotlight once more on Abedin, the trusted aide to Hillary Clinton who has emerged in recent years as a prominent figure in her own right.

Even as she keeps a low profile on the campaign trail, Abedin has long been a subject of public fascination – not simply because of the ways in which her private life has held traces similar to that of her boss, but largely due to her own rise as Clinton’s right-hand woman. She has been dubbed as Clinton’s “secret weapon”, in a profile in Vogue that also celebrated her sartorial flair, as well as the former first lady’s “shadow”.

But despite spending nearly two decades in such close proximity to one the most prolific politicians in the world, Abedin’s discomfort with the spotlight is readily apparent in the film that features her for the first time in the role of a protagonist.

Nebraska senator Ben Sasse, one of the few Republicans who has stood fast to his #NeverTrump pledge, has called Donald Trump’s racialized criticism of federal judge Gonzalo Curiel, who presides over the multi-state fraud suit against Trump University, racist.

Guess who’s missing?

Donald Trump takes tax break for people with incomes $500,000 or less

Donald Trump, the self-described billionaire who has declared the value of his personal fortune to be more than $10 billion, has once again availed himself of a tax break meant for middle-class New Yorkers with incomes below $500,000 per year.

According to Crain’s New York, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee’s latest property-tax bill reveal a credit under the New York State School Tax Relief (STAR) program, eligibility for which is only available to households with incomes less than $500,000 per year. (And it’s not the first time.)

It’s the upmarket cocktail that’s making America feel great again – until the hangover kicks in, of course.

The alcohol-heavy Trumptini with the moderately yuuuge price tag is also set to make Donald Trump considerably more wealthy, after the presumptive Republican presidential nominee this week shifted a portfolio of trademarks, including that of the colourful tipple, into business-friendly Delaware, presumably for tax purposes.

Taking seriously the Guardian’s mission to fully chronicle every aspect of the general election campaign, we set out to investigate the Trumptini with some in-depth research in the Fusion Lounge at the Trump International Beach Resort in Miami Beach.

We found that while several variations of The Donald’s favoured aperitif seem to exist, all have one element in common – a single twist of decadence that elevates the Trumptini beyond a cocktail for the common voter and into one of truly presidential stature.

Republican candidate for senate Ryan Frazier has an interesting line of attack against Washington elites in a new ad, in which entrenched congressional inaction is compared to a zombie apocalypse.

“They just keep coming at us - devouring our freedoms and tax dollars,” Frazier intones in the ad, as low-rent zombies hiss and growl at the camera. Who, exactly?

“The Washington elite: The walking deadheads.”

Described in the ad as a “naval intelligence veteran, business leader, outsider, [and] zombie hunter,” Frazier pledges to “fight a corrupt system” if he is elected to the senate. Presumably, with a machete.

Maine Republican senator Susan Collins has issued a statement condemning presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s racialized criticism of federal judge Gonzalo Curiel, who presides over the multi-state fraud suit against Trump University.

“Donald Trump’s comments on the ethnic heritage and religion of judges are absolutely unacceptable,” Collins said. “His statement that Judge Curiel could not rule fairly because of his Mexican heritage does not represent our American values. Mr. Trump’s comments demonstrate both a lack of respect for the judicial system and the principle of separation of powers.”

Trump has repeatedly stated that Curiel’s assignment to the case represents “an absolute conflict” because he is “of Mexican heritage”.

“I’m building a wall,” Trump told the Wall Street Journal, of his proposed 2,000-mile barrier along the US-Mexico border with the stated goal of preventing undocumented immigrants from entering the country. “It’s an inherent conflict of interest.”

Collins, a moderate Republican, has said that she will support Trump’s presidential bid.

Texas congressman to Donald Trump: 'Take your border wall and shove it up your ass'

Congressman Filemon Vela, a Texas Democratic, has published a blistering open letter to presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, calling him a racist and telling the real estate tycoon that “you can take your border wall and shove it up your ass.”

“Your ignorant anti-immigrant opinions, your border wall rhetoric, and your recent bigoted attack on an American jurist are just plain despicable,” Vela wrote. “Your position with respect to the millions of undocumented Mexican workers who now live in this country is hateful, dehumanizing, and frankly shameful.”

Filemon, who represents the heavily Latino Texas 34th congressional district on the Gulf Coast, tells Trump that he has “descended to a new low in your racist attack of an American jurist,” referring to Trump’s racialized criticism of federal judge Gonzalo Curiel, who presides over the multi-state fraud suit against Trump University.

“Before you dismiss me as just another ‘Mexican,’ let me point out that my great-great grandfather came to this country in 1857, well before your own grandfather,” Vela writes.

“I would like to end this letter in a more diplomatic fashion, but I think that you, of all people, understand why I cannot,” he concludes. “I will not presume to speak on behalf of every American of Mexican descent, for every undocumented worker born in Mexico who is contributing to our country every day or, for that matter, every decent citizen in Mexico. But, I am sure that many of these individuals would agree with me when I say: ‘Mr. Trump, you’re a racist and you can take your border wall and shove it up your ass.’ ”

Former presidential half-brother - and potential future presidential brother-in-law - Roger Clinton has been arrested in Southern California for driving under the influence, according to TMZ.

On Sunday, just two days before the California Democratic primary, Clinton was reportedly booked for driving under the influence in the Los Angeles suburb of Redondo Beach. He reportedly remains in police custody with his bail set at $15,000.

It’s not Clinton’s first run-in with the law. Known by the Secret Service during his brother’s presidential campaign as “Headache,” Clinton was granted a presidential pardon by his half-brother in 2001 for a 1985 cocaine possession conviction.

Online entertainment and news titan Buzzfeed has cancelled an advertising agreement with the Republican National Committee, citing the “offensive” rhetoric of the party’s presidential nominee, Donald Trump, who is “directly opposed to the freedoms of our employees in the United States and around the world.”

The Republican National Committee signed an agreement with BuzzFeed in April to spend “a significant amount on political advertisements” set to run during the fall campaign season, wrote Buzzfeed founder and CEO Jonah Perretti in an email to Buzzfeed staff.

But since Trump’s rise, Perretti said, the candidate’s positions have become “hazardous” to Buzzfeed’s readers and employees. “Trump advocates banning Muslims from traveling to the United States, he’s threatened to limit the free press, and made offensive statements toward women, immigrants, descendants of immigrants, and foreign nationals,” Perretti wrote.

That’s why “earlier today Buzzfeed informed the RNC that we would not accept Trump for President ads and that we would be terminating our agreement with them,” he continued. “The Trump campaign is directly opposed to the freedoms of our employees in the United States and around the world and in some cases, such as his proposed ban on international travel for Muslims, would make it impossible for our employees to do their jobs.”

Politico reports that the deal was worth $1.3 million.

“We certainly don’t like to turn away revenue that funds all the important work we do across the company,” he concluded. “However, in some cases we must make business exceptions: we don’t run cigarette ads because they are hazardous to our health, and we won’t accept Trump ads for the exact same reason.”

David French’s longshot independent bid for the White House is over before it even began.

The National Review columnist, whose name was put into contention as a possible anti-Donald Trump conservative candidate by Weekly Standard editor William Kristol, has declared in an article for his magazine that “after days of prayer, reflection, and serious study of the possibilities, I am not going to run as an independent candidate for president of the United States.”

French had been courted by conservatives unsatisfied with the nomination of Donald Trump to run as a possible spoiler candidate. But, French reasoned, “given the timing, the best chance for success goes to a person who either is extraordinarily wealthy (or has immediate access to extraordinary wealth) or is a transformational political talent.”

Since French is a relatively unknown lawyer who doesn’t even have a Wikipedia page, much less a record of holding public office, “it is plain to me that I’m not the right person for this effort.”

Donald Trump: Criticism from Newt Gingrich 'inappropriate'

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump told Fox News this morning it was “inappropriate” for former House speaker Newt Gingrich to criticize his racialized attacks on a federal judge in the multi-state fraud suit against Trump University. Trump’s remarks perhaps put a damper on rumors that the one-time Georgia congressman is being vetted as a potential running mate.

“You have to respond,” Trump said, of his public criticism of district court judge Gonzalo Curiel, whose impartiality in the case is questioned by Trump because of his Latino heritage. “All I’m trying to do is figure out why I’m being treated so unfairly by a judge.”

Gingrich suggested on Fox News Sunday that Trump’s line of attack was unbefitting a presidential nominee, calling his remarks “inexcusable” and Trump’s “worst mistake”.

“Trump has got to, I think, move to a new level,” Gingrich said. “This is no longer the primaries. He’s no longer an interesting contender. He is now the potential leader of the United States and he’s got to move his game up to the level of being a potential leader.”

Last week, Trump told the Wall Street Journal Curiel’s assignment to the case represented “an absolute conflict” because he is “of Mexican heritage”.

“I’m building a wall,” Trump said, of his proposed 2,000-mile barrier along the US-Mexico border, supposed to prevent undocumented immigrants from entering the country. “It’s an inherent conflict of interest.”

Before the row, Gingrich’s prospects of joining the Republican presidential ticket were expected to get a boost from megadonor Sheldon Adelson, according to three conservatives with links to Gingrich or the casino billionaire. Adelson has pledged $100m to back Trump’s White House bid – and the sources familiar with Adelson and Gingrich told the Guardian that they thought close ties between the two men should help the former House speaker’s chances.

“Given Adelson’s respect for Newt and that Gingrich encouraged Adelson to back Trump, it would make sense that Adelson has been pushing Gingrich for vice-president,” said one senior Republican operative who talks to Gingrich fairly often.

There may however be trouble in paradise already.

Donald Trump may be a billionaire, according to entrepreneur and football châtelain Mark Cuban - but there’s no way he’s worth as much as he says he is.

“You know, I think if it all came down to it, yes, because the price of New York real estate has just sky-rocketed over the last five years,” Cuban told CNN’s Chris Cuomo on New Day. “You know, assuming he hasn’t had to keep on borrowing because he has had liquidity issues then, yeah, I would give him credit for being a billionaire. But is he worth ten billion? Nah.”

Cuban also called Trump’s racialized criticism of the judge presiding over the multi-state fraud suit against Trump University “pretty sad.”

“I mean, it’s trying to intimidate a judge for any reason is ridiculous, particularly the position he’s in right now,” Cuban said. “It’s more a reflection on Donald. And the reality is, the lawsuits with Trump University go back long before Donald decided to run for president. You know, it’s a Hail Mary on Donald’s part because he knows he’s wrong. It’s a sad reflection on him.”

As she barnstorms California in advance of Tuesday’s primary – where she is seemingly neck and neck with her populist challenger, Bernie Sanders – Hillary Clinton appears to be an almost different woman. A candidate who, nearly 14 months after announcing her bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, has finally, largely, found her footing.

She landed in the Golden State four days ago for her final campaign swing before the primary and delivered an animated and blistering attack on Donald Trump’s fitness to lead. Her final event Monday night will be a star-studded concert at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, where she will be serenaded by Andra Day, Stevie Wonder, John Legend, Christina Aguilera and Ricky Martin.

In between, she and her possible future first gentleman will have hit a combined 50 or so campaign events up and down California, a state that delivers the richest delegate prize in the primary calendar.

Her broad lead over Sanders has all but disappeared, hence her furious pace: San Diego, El Centro, Perris, Culver City, Garden Grove, Santa Ana, San Bernardino, Sylmar, Oxnard, Santa Barbara, Fresno, Oakland, Vallejo, Sacramento, Lynwood, South Los Angeles.

She does not need to win in California to clinch the nomination. But a loss would look very bad as she heads into the general election against presumptive Republican nominee Trump, who has dubbed her Crooked Hillary, blamed her for her husband’s indiscretions, and mused that she will likely be in prison sometime soon.

Today in campaign 2016

Good morning, and welcome to the Guardian’s campaign live blog for Monday 6 June 2016. Here’s a quick rundown of what’s in the news, and what we’re expecting to see on the eve of the final major Democratic primaries:

  • Hillary Clinton won the Puerto Rico primary on Sunday, putting her ever closer to securing the number of delegates needed to win her party’s White House nomination. “We just won Puerto Rico! ¡Gracias a la Isla del Encanto por esta victoria!” tweeted Clinton.
  • But rival Bernie Sanders isn’t planning on giving up so easily – even though Clinton will almost inevitably crack the 2,383-delegate threshold needed to secure the nomination tomorrow. “I’m going to fight to become the nominee,” Sanders told Jake Tapper on CNN’s State of the Union. “Let’s not forget, the Democratic convention is in July. That’s a long time from today.”
  • Talking point: Sanders has continued to criticize journalists for conflating delegates, who are apportioned based on the results of primary contests, with superdelegates, the party officials who are empowered by the Democratic National Committee to cast votes at the convention regardless of the electorate’s wishes. “What she would be doing is combining pledged delegates – those are the real delegates that people vote for – with superdelegates … the media should not lump those two together,” Sanders said to Tapper. “You don’t know what the world is going to be like four weeks from now, five weeks.”
Bernie Sanders speaks to CNN.
  • Newt Gingrich’s prospects of joining the Republican presidential ticket as Donald Trump’s running mate are expected to get a boost from megadonor Sheldon Adelson, according to three conservatives with links to Gingrich or the casino billionaire. Adelson has pledged $100m to back Trump’s White House bid – and the sources familiar with Adelson and Gingrich said they thought close ties between the two men, who share ardent and hawkish pro-Israel views, should help the former House speaker’s chances. “Given Adelson’s respect for Newt and that Gingrich encouraged Adelson to back Trump, it would make sense that Adelson has been pushing Gingrich for vice-president,” said one senior Republican operative who talks to Gingrich fairly often.
  • There may however be trouble in paradise already, if an interview with Trump this morning on Fox News is any indication. Trump told Fox News it was “inappropriate” for Gingrich to demand that he stop bringing up the ethnicity of the federal judge presiding over a fraud suit against Trump University and start acting like “a potential leader of the United States”.
  • “All I’m trying to do is figure out why I’m being treated so unfairly by a judge,” Trump said. On Sunday, Gingrich called Trump’s comments “inexcusable” and the candidate’s “worst mistake”.
  • Trump also said this weekend that “it’s possible” that Muslim judges, in addition to Latino jurists, would be biased against him – and thus, he said, ineligible to oversee any case involving him.

Now that you’re caught up, on with the show!
