4:04 am
>> reporter: a huge night for donald trump winning all five states that had elections, a clear sweep here in the northeast, and he's calling himself the presumptive republican nominee. >> when you crack 60 with three people, that's very hard to do. in fact, i think chris can tell you if you crack 60 with two people, that's called -- that's called a massive landslide. >> reporter: he's also calling for senator ted cruz and governor john kasich to get out of this race. >> it's the analogy of the boxer. when the boxer knocks out the other boxer, you don't have to wait around for a decision. so, that's what it is, and that's what happened tonight. that's what happened last week in new york, and that's really what's been happening throughout. we have millions more votes, millions more than cruz. we have millions more votes than kasich. >> reporter: trump saying that cruz and kasich now are just in his way and that he's going to get the nomination in cleveland this summer. now, i asked trump if he has put together a short list of potential running mates like senator ted cruz has announced earlier that he is vetting some candidates, trump says he's not
4:05 am
there yet but that it's a joke that cruz is even considering a running mate at this point because he has no path to the nomination. >> he's wasting his time. a running mate? it's over. as far as i'm concerned, it's over. these two guys cannot win. there's no path. >> reporter: kendis and diane, back to you. >> all right. our thanks to tom llamas there at the trump headquarters here in new york. meanwhile, hillary clinton had a great night even though bernie sanders denied her a clean sweep. >> clinton won four out of five states putting her 250 delegates shy of clinching that democratic nomination. she refrained from saying anything negative about bernie sanders during her victory speech. instead she's looking ahead. we get more now from abc's liz kreutz. good morning, liz. >> reporter: good morning, diane and kendis. hillary clinton won the big prize of the night, pennsylvania. she celebrated here in philadelphia where she hopes to return this summer for the democratic convention as her party's nominee. during her remarks she called
4:06 am
for uniting the democratic party. she applauded some of her opponent bernie sanders's policies. she even called for working together to get them done. >> and i applaud senator sanders and his millions of supporters for challenging us to get unaccountable money out of our politics and giving because whether you support senator sanders or you support me, there's much more that unites us than divides us. [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: clinton also called for a world where love trumps hate. she's clearly turning her attention to the republican front-runner donald trump. clinton's campaign spokeswoman said that while they're still focused on the remaining contest, they are turning to the general election and they foresee this primary winding down in the next few weeks. diane and kendis. >> all right. liz, thanks. as for her competitor, bernie sanders, he is not reassessing his candidacy, but he still has no plans of dropping out the democrats hold their convention this summer. >> sanders congratulated clinton
4:07 am
on her win but said he was looking forward to the upcoming races and fighting for a progressive party platform. he attributed his single win in rhode island that it was an open primary where independents could vote. >> let's give you this, a quick look at the delegate count. trump picked up more than 100 delegates leaving him with a grand total of 973, far ahead of cruz and kasich. clinton now has 2,141 delegates. that's 90% of what she needs to clinch the democratic nomination. >> and stay with abc news for more results and analysis. we will hear live from donald trump later on "good morning america." and this note from donald trump, he may have to testify in the case against his now defunct real estate school. a new york judge ruling the lawsuit against trump university will go to trial after a settlement could not be reached. trump is accused of using his celebrity status to persuade students to enroll in expensive courses that failed to deliver on promises. trump said last night that he's going to win the case. still ahead, a new warning for parents about a potentially dangerous supplement. and prince's fortune already becoming a legal issue. his sister stepping in after no will is found.
