wednesday morning. we'll show you more of that video of that incredible mom in just a second. but we have a lot of politics to talk about this morning. i don't know whether we should say it was a late night or it was an early morning. >> you said good morning, it's wednesday morning. isn't it just a continuation of t tuesday night? we just got another result. >> the race for the white house seems set now as hillary clinton solidifies her position as her party's presumptive nominee. with victories in four primaries on tuesday. it will be clinton versus trump in the general election. >> the former secretary of state won in new jersey, new mexico, south dakota and, as we said a short time ago, the big prize -- california was called for clinton. meantime, bernie sanders took montana and north dakota. >> let's switch over to the delegate count putting clinton on a collision course with donald trump. we've got it all covered starting with nbc's andrea mitchell. she's been covering the clinton campaign all along. andrea, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning to you, matt. with that big win now

california, hillary clinton has her best argument for persuading bernie sanders to concede. exactly eight years after clinton's painful loss to barack obama. now president obama is ready to go all-in to make sure clinton had succeed him in the oval office. this morning hillary clinton is making history. >> thanks to you, we've reached a milestone. >> reporter: declaring victory in the democratic presidential primary. >> first time in our nation's history that a woman will be a major party's nominee. >> reporter: after clinching the nomination monday, clinton last night added to her delegate lead over bernie sanders. >> i want to congratulate senator sanders for the extraordinary campaign he has run. >> reporter: speaking in california, sanders did not concede but says he can do the math. >> i am pretty good in arithmetic and i know that the fight in front of us is a very, very steep fight.

but vowing to take his revolution all the way to the convention. >> thank you all. the struggle continues! >> reporter: for nearly a month, sanders has been on the trail in the golden state, hoping a win in california could give him some badly needed momentum. but clinton has still secured more pledged delegates and more votes. overnight, president obama called both candidates, congratulating clinton on winning the nomination, thanking sanders for energizing the party. the two men will meet at the white house tomorrow. now the former first lady, senator and secretary of state is turning her focus to the general election, hammering donald trump. >> donald trump is temperamentally unfit to be president and commander in chief. >> reporter: keeping was historic night invoking lessons she learned from her mother. >> she taught me never to back down from a bully which it turns out was

>> reporter: president obama and senate democratic leader harry reid both will try to make peacemaker telling urging sanders to concede if they are going to beat donald trump. nbc news confirms as soon as today the sanders campaign is going to lay off as many as half their campaign staff. matt and savannah, back to you. >> andrea mitchell, thank you. chuck todd and nicolle wallace, guys, i know it was a late night for you. there are so many moments that break through during a campaign. do ow think hillary clinton made the most of her moment tonight? >> i think it was her first real coordinated take-down of donald trump and her speech last night, it is difficult to argue, even as a republican, that she doesn't have her message an her tone and her presentation of her case together in a way that she hasn't at any other point in this cycle. and just as

became the first ever to seize the nomination of a major political party. >> chuck, perhaps not surprising, bernie sanders didn't give her moment last night. he didn't urge his supporters to get behind her. there's this meeting at the white house tomorrow. i guess we'd all like to be a fly on the wall if that room, what's going to happen and what will happen right after that meeting. >> i don't know if it is going to happen right after, but i think there is a feeling in the democratic party to give bernie sanders a little bit of space, give him a little bit of respect. there is one more week of the primary season and i've talked to folks close to both the white house and clinton that there is a feeling, look, if sanders really wants to go through to the d.c. primary, give him the week. no sweat off of their back. but i think what he's going to learn is that if he carries this on too long, then there will be some public urgings. and then maybe you won't get that committee spot you really want in the senate. there is -- they do have one piece leverage over him. he likes being a senator. so the senate democrats can force his

exercise, helping someone dom terms. you've got campaign staffers devoted, the candidate himself has poured himself into this race. >> you need to bring in some shrinks. right? losing is really, really, really hard business but he's had two months to learn how to lose. he's been mathematically eliminated for months. so i am still bewildered by the tenderness with which the party is treating him. it's over. if trump weren't such a hot mess in this current news cycle i think there would be a lot more pressure on him to get behind her. trump may regain strength. he's sort of like a storm over the sea. he may regain strength and. capable of doing real el haharm her and he'll have all bernie's attacks to use. >> but hillary clinton running against donald trump versus hillary clinton running against bernie sanders, the comfort she has running against trump. she believes in her mind more than half thent

trump. she has this ginger nature of the democratic primary. she wasn't totally convinced that a majority of democrats were really with her. >> guys, stick around. we aren't done with you yet. . let's turn to republican donald trump. he swept all states tuesday making it clear he's ready to take on hillary clinton. general election is on. nbc national correspondent peter alexander joins us now from trump tower. peter, good morning to you. >> reporter: hey, good morning to you. we were at that election night celebration. this one was unlike all the others. donald trump not ripping. instead, reading off prepared remarks. it comes in the midst of a republican rebellion over trump's latest controversy where even the top-ranked republican in the country is now trying to walk a tight rope. >> reporter: donald trump sticking to the script trying to re-assure rattled republicans. and i will never, ever, let you down. >> reporter: trump, relying on a

teleprompter, just days after mocking hillary clinton for doing the same. attacking his democratic rival and her husband. >> the clintons have turned the politics of personal enrichment into an artform for themselves. >> reporter: trump appealing the bernie sanders supporters, he says are victims of a rigged system. >> we welcome you with open arms. >> reporter: the speech, not without its awkward moments. trump, apparently hearing a supporter. >> no tpp. you're right about that. and you mean no p.p. >> reporter: later making this promise. >> going to take care of our african-american people who have been mistreated for so long. >> reporter: trump's remarks, after the first republican to yank his endorsements. >> the racism and bigotry is not going to be tolerated in the party of lincoln. >> reporter: that reprimand after the repeated attacks on a er

his mexican heritage. trump not apologizing. instead, saying his words were disconstr disconstrued. i do not feel that one's heritage makes him impartial. trump is down talking about it. but his critics aren't. jeb bush demand he retract his comments. >> i don't think -- claiming a person can't do their job because of their race, is a textbook comment. >> mitch mcconnell, delivering his own rebuke. >> it's time for him to look like a serious candidate for president. >> reporter: trump, counting his critics as sore losers. and standing by his man, chris christie. >> i've known donald trump for 14 years. and donald trump is not a

racist. >> reporter: rnc chair calling it a great victory speech. saying it was exactly the right approach. trump campaign aides say that donald trump is full steam ahead, focused on hillary clinton and the general election. beginning friday, he will hit four battleground states in four days, virginia, florida, pennsylvania and new hampshire. matt and savannah? >> if you read donald trump's statement. it wasn't backing off what he said about the judge. but perhaps a dialing down or saying, all right, i'm going to move on, to placate everybody that's freaking out. is this the best that republicans can expect on this issue? >> probably. he doesn't like to apologize. my favorite comment was, i think, somebody read the statement to jeff flake the republican senator, saying, i guess he is walking back. and his response was, keep walking. you're not done walking back. he didn't apologize. he said, i'll move on. and i'll stop talking about it. bu

out, he does this lengthy statement, says he's not going to talk about it anymore. in the speech, he doesn't talk about it. but he taped an interview with sean hannity where he talked about it. >> i want to show you the front page of "the new york daily news." with a headline that says "i'm with racist." it's a chastising headline for paul ryan, the speaker of the house, after all of the controversial things that donald trump has said. is this going to be a tough headline for a lot of republicans? >> it already is. and i think that paul ryan is unfairly being held to a harsher standard than other republicans. lots of republicans have endorsed donald trump. >> but he's seen as the face of the republican party. >> he's seen as the future of the republican party. and i think he's paying a higher price than anybody. mitch mcconnell endorsed him before paul ryan did.

the republican party. our hearts are broken, that a lot of us have been a part of and worked for for 20 years, ripped apart by someone who has made not one, not two, but three racism scandals. >> mark kirk, senator from illinois, in a tough re-election battle there. unendorsed. can you think of another unendorsed race in history. >> i think trump has three or four weeks to one more time, try to prevent this last-minute panic or run at him. by the end of the month, if he's down 8, 10, 12 points in national polls, if the fund-raising isn't going well, you might see, it's a long shot, some chatter of trying to stop him at the convention, if this month continues as badly as the last 72 hours. >> chuck and nicole, get some sleep. thank you so much. want to turn to a tragic

hit-and-run crash in michigan. five bicyclists are dead, and several other hospitalized after a pickup truck slammed into the group without warning. gabe, good morning to you. >> reporter: matt, good morning. police say the 50-year-old driver is in custody but has not been charged yet. authorities say they got several calls reporting th pickup truck driving erratically just minutes before the deadly crash. it was chaos. >> multiple bikers down. >> reporter: confusion. cyclist run off the road. and this morning, investigators in michigan are trying to piece together to what led to the deadly crash near kalamazoo. >> i've never seen anything like this in my life. >> reporter: one says the blue pickup truck swerved into the group. >> a couple of them flew. >> reporter: nine cycle iflt hit. five killed. four rushed to the hospital. police say

pickup driving erratically. >> the police were alerted to a blue pickup truck in the approximately 30 minutes leading up to this accident. >> reporter: after the crash, the driver fled on foot. the neighbor said she thought the truck hit a frtree. >> the front of the truck is demolished. i thought it was pieces of the truck. >> reporter: overnight, the county prosecutor said this area is once again in shock. in february, six people were killed when an uber driver went on a shooting spree in kalamazoo. now, more heartbreak. >> i wish we had more of an opportunity to maybe get our feet under us before we had to do it again. >> reporter: this morning, the cycling community is mourning the loss of these riders. they were thought to bepa

the four survivors who sustained serious injuries. and, matt and savannah, the people who were hurt, their identities have not been released. >> gabe gutierrez. thank you very much. breaking news overnight, officials say a bomb threat forced an egypt airplane, flying from cairo to beijing, make an emergency landing in uzbekistan. they called to say a bomb was onboard that flight. the agents ordered the plane to land at the nearest airport. all 135 passengers were evacuated. the aircraft was searched, no bomb was found. that incident comes three weeks after an egyptair flight crashed in the maid traediterranean sea. two f-16 fighter jets crashed after a midair collision in georgia. the fighter jets were performing routine night flying operations. the pilots of each aircraft ejected safely. e

the u.s. air force is investigating that crash. back to the chilling surveillance video we showed you at the top of the show. an attempted kidnapping caught on tape. this stopped at a dollar store in florida. you see the suspect where the 13-year-old and mother are shopping. a man grabs the girl and tries to drag her out of the store. there's a tug-of-war, between the suspect and the mother, who is a complete stranger. there was an off-duty sheriff's deputy in the parking lot. he took the suspect into custody. now, 30-year-old craig benello is charged with attempted kidnapping. >> what would possess someone to do that with the mother of the child right there. >> and the off-duty sheriff's deputy. fists were flying in the game between the royals and the orioles in baltimore. this came in the second

when manny machado flies out. words were exchanged between him and the pitcher. and fast-forward, in the fifth. ventura nails machado in the back with a 99-mile-per-hour fast ball. machado charges the mound. the two exchange punches. teammates join the fray. machado and ventura ejected for their role in the melee. suspensions are coming. >> i'll bet they are. >> who was boxing in the undercard. let's get a check of the weather. i see florida on your map. >> yeah. unfortunately. even though our friend, colin, is long gone. we have a front that's dragging its own sweet time across florida. it is going to lay there and bring a lot of rain. the storms along this front, flash flooding due to al of the rain that's fallen. the ground is completely saturated. look at the rainfall amounts we're talking about generally, an inch and a half to three inches. but locally, could be up to five inches of ra

assaulting a woman. gadi schwartz is outside with this story. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. this is where brock turner has started to serve his six-month sentence. but the prosecuting attorney on this case says he could be walking out of jail in 90 days. it's an online and public shaming. social media sites with hundreds of thousands of posts, calling out star swimmer and once olympic hopeful, brock turner, with sexual assault. his picture from facebook, only to have the tech giant allow the posts. while hundreds of thousands share his letter from his victim. a victim read in court, after turner was handed a six-month sentence. >> this letter is a game-changer. it's one of the most important letters of our generation. >> reporter: the letter saying, i want to show people that one night of drinking can ruin two lives. you and me. you are the cause. i amhe

message to the prosecutor on her assault case saying, she wants to remain anonymous. >> i don't need labels, categories, to prove that i should be listened to. i'm coming to you simply as a woman, wanting to be heard. >> reporter: the letter saying, if you think i was spared, came out unscathed, that today i ride off into the sunset while you suffer the greatest blow, you are mistaken. nobody wins. we have all been devastated. siting the defendant's age and lack of criminal record, the judge wrote of his decision. a prison sentence will have a severe impact on him. i don't think he will be a danger to others. when you heard the six months, what was your reaction? >> i was upset. absolutely. i definitely thought it was a slap on the wrist. >> reporter: it's triggered a petition to remove the judge from the bench, with over 500,000 signatures. >> we believe that women

less moral culpability. and said that a long sentence would have a severe impact on him. it sounds like the judge is being more sensitive to the person who committed the crime than the victim of the crime. >> several of the comments attributed to the judge do suggest that. that's what people are finding so outrageous. there is a thing called mitigating factors in the law. people hear about that. that goes to the assessment. and it is true that the convict, the defendant in this case, didn't have a prior record. but when you go above and beyond the things you can prove and that are measurable and go into saying, it would affect this person's life, yes. that's what a felony punishment is supposed to do. >> now, there's an effort to recall him. he's up for election but running unopposed. is that likely to be successful? >> under the rules, it's a high

signatures and organizing. not online, where this is happening now. but through the process. we should be concerned with decisions we disagree with, for recalling judges, based one at a time. people are going to have something they disagree with. >> and you have some saying this judge went to stanford. got a bachelors there. and captain of the lacrosse team. and they're saying it was impossible for him to be unbiased in this case. is it different accusing a judge of being biased because of his academic pedigree than what we're seeing in the political world with donald trump, accusing a judge of being biased because of his ethnic heritage? >> we're hearing a lot of different ideas of what bias can constitute. i don't know what was in this judge's mind. statistically, we know that poor, black defendants are more likely to go to jail and be sentenced more harshly for the same crime than affluent defendants.

this is a case that combines assault and gender norms on campus. and whether women accusations or victimhood is being taken seriously. and it's doubled over with a legitimate set of questions whether class is coming in here and further causing inequities that make people say this doesn't feel balanced. this doesn't feel fair. >> there's a lot of issues around this case. ari, thank you. let's turn and get a check of the weather from al. >> all right, guys. we're watching a pretty good area of thunderstorms from rochester, new york, to hagerstown, maryland, all pushing in here. the jet stream and low-pressure system moving over the region. not only showers and gusty winds. but temperatures will take a dip. temperatures in the 40s and 50s here in new york and in the northeast. and temperatures drop. they will only be highs about 10 to 15 degrees cooler than average. the rest of the country got strong storms in the northern
