threshold to become the presumptive nominee. she has secured the delegates needed thanks to new pledges from other delegates. clinton spoke about embarking on history at a rally last night. >> according to the news, we are in the brink of a historic, historic, unprecedented moment. but we still have work to do, don't we? we have six elections tomorrow and we're going to fight hard for every single vote, especially right here in california! >> but the clinton campaign cautioned against the news worried it would suppress voter turnout at today's primaries. they issued this statement saying 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

not only a win in the popular vote, but also the majority of pledged delegates. that doesn't stop the campaign from using last night's news to its advantage putting out an e-mail highlighting her nomination. bernie sanders the news amounts to nothing more than a media frenzy. his campaign put out a statement saying it is unfortunate that the media in a rush to judgment are ignoring the democratic that made a clear statement it is wrong to count the vote of super delegates before they vote at the convention this summer. secretary clinton does not and will not have the required number of pledged delegates to secure the nomination. here is what he says to an nbc affiliate last night. >> well, i think what -- according to the democratic national committee what they should not be doing is lumping pledged delegates, in other words, real delegates, with super delegates, who may or may not change their mind but who do not vote until

so everybody knows exactly how the super delegates are voting on july 25th, that is great but i don't know that. the point is that tomorrow in california, we have the most important primary. the people of california have the right to determine who is going to be president of the united states, not necessarily having to listen to a.p. or nbc and i hope that they will come out in large numbers and make it clear. >> those comments after nbc news learned of a secret call between sanders and president obama this weekend. administration officials say the president could endorse hillary clinton as early as this week. still, sanders has his sights set on california. he will spend the night holding an election night rally there while hillary clinton is expected to watch the results pour in from brooklyn where her campaign headquarters is located. donald trump finds himself being slammed from the left, right and the center for his continued attacks on a federal judge because of a judge's rulings
