Choose right now. I tell you all this because its important to note progress, because to deny how far weve come would do a disservice to the cause of justice, to the legions of foot soldiers, to not only the incredibly accomplished individuals who have already been mentioned but your mothers and your dads, parents and greatgrandparents who marched and toiled and suffered and overcame to make this day possible. I tell you this not to lull you into complacency but to spur you into action because theres still so much work to do, so many more miles to travel. America needs you to gladly, happily take up that work. You all have some work to do. So enjoy the party. Because youre going to be busy. Yes, our economy has recovered from crises stronger than almost any other in the world, but there are folks of all races who are still hurting. Who still cant find work enough to keep the lights on, who still cant save for retirement. Weve still got a big racial gap in economic opportunity. The over
We won a great victory in the state of washington a few months ago. We just won oregon. And were going to win california. I am getting to like the west coast. Meanwhile, lets turn it over to the republican side. Donald trump edging closer to the magic number of delegates. The win in oregon with 66 of the vote as of now. John kasich and ted cruz both far behind at 16 . Trump is now just 62 delegates away from the 1,237 he needs to officially clinch the partys nomination. Trump tweeted this message to his supporters. Congratulations to the movement. We have just won the great state of oregon. The vote percentage is even higher than anticipated. Thank you. Joining us now is cnns senior washington correspondent jeff zeleny, who is traveling with the Sanders Campaign. Jeff, a mixed night for Bernie Sanders. A win in oregon but a defeat in kentucky. However, judging from senator sanders comments there in california, tonights results havent altered the dynamics of this race and no one should
North korea could at any moment test a Nuclear Weapon in celebration of their leader kim jongun. Well take you live now to a Police Press Conference in maryland for the latest on that shooting. One of the plain clothesed officers observed a silver vehicle that matched the description of a homicide that occurred in Prince Georges County last night. The tag number also matched to that vehicle lookout. We had a description of the suspect from the homicide last night that was in that vehicle, and the plain clothesed officer spotted that individual at the Dunkin Donuts in the Northgate Shopping Center in aspen hill. They had this individual under surveillance, and when the individual walked back to his car, the plain clothesed officers were able to take him into custody without incident. The suspects name is eulalio tordil. He is in custody now the Montgomery County police department. With me is chief hank stewinsky from the Prince Georges County police department. We have been working in c
Result of those other delegates . Ted cruz is one of the most powerful second place finishers in recent history in one of these conventions . I dont expect a lot of drama. Weve seen very tight races before, even tighter on the democratic side in the 2008 barack obama versus Hillary Clinton race. And what ends up happening, when all of the candidates end up dropping out and you have a presumptive nominee by the sheer number or networks calling it or party designating you the presumptive nominee, you pretty much control that convention. There might be some discentrists here or there, for the most part donald trump and his allies will control every aspect of the convention in cleveland from the platform to the speaking order to whos giving the key note speech. This is going to be Donald Trumps convention. And that is significant to kind of understand even as you try to see if there are dissenting voices. Donald trump, the showman who has said the past conventions was the most boring hes e
Rounds in washington and the elites of his party tried desperately to come to terms with the reality that, yes, donald trump is their presumptive president ial nominee. Trump arrived at the Republican National Committee Just before 9 00 a. M. To meet first with of course House Speaker paul ryan, the most powerful republican in the country, who in an unprecedented move last week announced he was not ready to back trump for president. It was a chaotic scene outside the meeting with protesters at one point trying to deliver a cardboard coffin to the rnc. Inside the trump ryan meeting chaperoned by rnc head ryan priebus, the man with the unepveeable job of trying to hold the party together. Kevin mccarthy, a trump delegate, and the rest of the trump leadership joined the house meeting. Trump then travel to the National Republican Senatorial Committee where he get with gop senate leaders. Pretty much every republican involved in todays meetings offered up a similar take, at least publicly.
