Clinton, Trump win New Jersey primaries

Hillary Clinton has won the Democratic presidential primary in New Jersey, further extending her lead against rival Bernie Sanders on one of the last days of voting.

The Associated Press declared Clinton the presumptive nominee on the eve of Tuesday’s election in half a dozen states, but Sanders has vowed to fight on until all the superdelegates are allocated. Clinton leads Sanders both in pledged delegates and superdelegates.

However, according to an AP count, it is no longer possible for Sanders to reach the 2,383 needed to win the nomination based on the remaining available pledged delegates and uncommitted superdelegates.

Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump has picked up 51 delegates by winning New Jersey’s Republican primary.

Trump already has the support of enough delegates to win the Republican nomination for president. With no one else left in the race, he is on track to substantially pad his lead in Tuesday’s contests.

There are 303 delegates at stake in five Republican primaries Tuesday.

Trump has 1,290 delegates. It takes 1,237 delegates to win the GOP nomination for president.
