Heard it on early start at 5 19 a. M. Hillary clinton now declared the winner of the california primary with 63 of the vote in. Shes some 406,000 votes ahead there. That number hasnt really changed all night. People were wondering, will Bernie Sanders close the gap there . It hasnt happened. Hillary clinton maintains her lead. She didnt need it though. She was already the presumptive nominee, but she did win four of the six states. California, new mexico, south dakota, and new jersey in a big way. Bernie sanders won caucuses in north dakota, also the montana primary. What does this mean for the delicate race now . Lets look at where things stand. Hillary clinton with 2,740, more than she needs. Bernie sanders with 1800. You can see there as well she has the majority of the plenled delegates, which is something the Clinton Campaign says is important. But she does need the super delegates to put her over the top she needs there. Now, as for the total votes cast in these primaries in general, Hillary Clinton received about 15. 2 million votes in these primaries that have lasted for so many months. Donald trump, 13. 9 million. Mr. Trump will tell you he might have more if he hadnt been running against so many people for so long, but that gives you a sense of their support over the last few months. Very helpful to see those numbers, john. Thank you very much. Hillary clinton now the first woman to be nominated by a major party for the presidency. But with rival Bernie Sanders refusing to bow out, what does this mean for unifying the Democratic Party . Jeff zeleny joins us now with more. Good morning. What it does for party unity with this california victory, it really extinguishes Bernie Sanders argument, or begins to do so. We can feel the wheels of this Democratic Party shifting here and turning here toward unifying this party. Senator sanders talked with president obama last night. Hell be going to the white house tomorrow to meet with him. This is the beginning of a unifying party. Last night Hillary Clinton, nothing but a Big Olive Branch for Bernie Sanders as she talked about her moment in history. Thanks to you weve reached a milestone. First time first time in our nations history that a woman will be a major partys nominee. Tonights victory is not about one person. It belongs to generations of women and men who struggled and sacrificed and made this moment possible. One of the things secretary clinton is trying to do here is expand her appeal to some of those voters who are not with her early on. If theyre independents or democrats who are supporting Bernie Sanders. But Bernie Sanders last night or early this morning here in santa monica, california, making his case, pledging that he will keep going on. That was before, of course, we projected california as a victory for Hillary Clinton. Lets listen to his final argument. I am pretty good at arithmetic, and i know that the fight in front of us is a very, very steep fight. But we will continue to fight for every vote and every delegate. And a far steeper fight this morning with this projection of california. That was the one state that Bernie Sanders needed to keep this argument Going Forward, even though the math was still virtually impossible. California takes it away the political argument of this. Voters are having their voices heard here. This is going to add more importantly to Hillary Clintons overall vote total here. She was already 3 million ahead. This is going to kick that up even higher. I mean, the numbers. She has the majority of pledged. She has the super majority with super delegates. She has millions of more raw votes. And she has more votes than donald trump. So youre saying she has a chance . She has a lot of numbers on her side there. The question is can she translate it into the momentum she needed. Thats why last night was so big. Jeff, stay with us. Lets also bring in cnn political analyst and host of the one and only David Gregory show podcast, David Gregory himself. Put the history in context. What does it mean to women . What does it mean about the system . Obviously this is a very big deal for women. Weve had women run, but Hillary Clinton just became the first woman to top a major president ial party ticket. Thats a big deal. She obviously couldnt claim that mandate as forcefully as she wanted to monday night when the a. P. And other news organizes went ahead and called her the Presumptive Democratic nominee. Now she can. You heard that forcefully in her speech. Shes embracing that history. I think thats something were going to hear Hillary Clinton make the case for over and over again, particularly as we head towards november in a contest against donald trump. In contrast to donald trump, where a lot of the attention on him this cycle sol far has been those divisive comments hes made about women, about communities of color, and things like that, so theres a very clear contrast argument that i expect to see the clinton camp embrace forcefully moving ahead. In fact, she did start to do that, David Gregory, last night. She did talk about all the different people she wants to bring into the tent and about how this is a historic moment. So lets listen to that. Women and men, young and old, latino and asian, africanamerican and caucasian, rich, poor, and middle class, gay and straight, you have stood with me, and i will continue to stand strong. Thanks to you, weve reached a milestone. First time in our nations history that a woman will be a major partys nominee. [ cheers and applause ] tonights victory is not about one person. It belongs to generations of women and men who struggled and sacrificed and made this moment possible. We all owe so much to those who came before, and tonight belongs to all of you. [ cheers and applause ] david, what did you hear there in her tone and in her words . Well, i think she had a different tone last night. She was able to absorb, to reflect, and to project the historical nature of this moment. A really significant moment in her political career and in her public career, which has spanned both politics and her role as first lady of the United States. So she is a unique figure in our history, and she was really able to talk about that and talk much more personally. This is not a natural campaigner by her own admission, yet she talked about the importance of standing up there and how shed love to tell her mother, above all else, that she became the first woman to become a nominee of a Major Political party. I think it was a really human moment. It was also a moment when Hillary Clinton was able to speak to the reality of this country and the future of the country. Shes speaking to a different america, an america that looks a lot different than it used to, that is moving in a much different demographic direction. I think it was a moment for her to kind of harness what she hopes the campaign about, which is a message of hope, a message of the future, and to be automobile to create a really big contrast with what donald trump has done over the past couple weeks, which is waste a huge amount of political opportunity as hes been consolidating the party. She has an opportunity to really bask a little bit in the light of what shes been able to accomplish as an historic figure but also bask in some of the good feeling about triumphing in this fight, running a much more functional campaign, a very strong campaign. So there really is a contrast now in the two parties, between a much more functional Democratic Party that is going to begin to unify with a popular president and a Republican Party, which at the moment is in disarray. Well, a first, right, when you have the first woman. Its big, even beyond the partisan lines. There are women who are not for Hillary Clinton or not sure who were excited by this as just an event in history. This has happened, so that was good. But we did see something last night, jeff zeleny. Well play more sound of it. We heard a little bit of it earlier. We now know what her theory of the case going to be. That we are stronger together. She sees trump as a divider. Lets listen to her last night give her big riff about all of us coming together. The stakes in this election are high, and the choice is clear. Donald trump is temperamentally unfit to be president and commander in chief. [ cheers and applause ] and hes not just trying to build a wall between america and mexico. Hes trying to wall off americans from each other. When he says, lets make America Great again, that is code for, lets take america backwards. So jeff, what do you see in this message . Do you think this is it, this is the rallying cry for her . I think it is eventually. I dont know that it is in this moment. I was so struck last night being in the room at that speech there. She was so gracious to Bernie Sanders. Im told instructed her advisers, surrogates, everyone else to not push him toward the exit. We know where hes going. Hes leaving this race. The california victory puts the exclamation point on this for her. Look, she knows she needs these voters and she needs senator sanders supporters here. But i think that what she was saying there, i was struck by the softness of the message. Contrast that with last week in san diego. It was pow, pow, pow. This was, you know, we need you, we need to come together to do this for the good of the country. I thought her speech last night was more elevated than any speech ive heard her give throughout the course of this campaign. She was on the top floor here really calling upon people to, you know, come together, as you said. The question is, will all of his supporters do that. She doesnt need all of Bernie Sanders supporters. She needs a lot of them though. Interesting donald trump was calling out to them also. Stay with us. We have a lot of news to cover in this election. To donald trump, hes trying desperately to head off a republican revolt. He delivered a prepared speech that sounded almost contrite at times last night, telling supporters he understands the responsibility of carrying the mantle and will never let them down. Cnns senior White House Correspondent jim acosta live from trump power in new york with more. Jim . Reporter morning, chris. It was well received inside the trump campaign. I talked to a top trump adviser last night who said this speech that was held at his golf club in westchester county, new york, last night was very important to recovering from five bad days. That in the words of one trump adviser. Of course, that adviser is referring to the controversy over trumps comments on the federal judge. He did tone down his rhetoric and make a shift to the general Election Campaign, which was music to people inside the Republican Partys ears. Heres what donald trump had to say. To all of the Bernie Sanders supporters who have been left out in the cold by a rigged system of super delegates, we welcome you with open arms. The clintons have turned the politics of personal enrichment into an art form for themselves. Theyve made hundreds of millions of dollars selling access, selling favors, selling government contracts, and i mean hundreds of millions of dollars. Reporter now, there was a positive review coming from the man at the head of the Republican Party, reince priebus, the chair of the rnc. He put out a tweet last night saying, quote, great victory speech by real donald trump tonight, exactly the right approach and perfectly delivered. That came only hours, as you know, after Illinois Republican senator mark kirk, whos in a tough reelection battle, announced hes rescinding his endorsement of donald trump. The trick is at that point that even though donald trump was using a teleprompter last night is whether or not he can keep this campaign on the rails. Weve heard talk before of trump making a pivot to the general Election Campaign and toning down his rhetoric only to have problems like this controversy with the judge. We will be talking about all of that. Jim, thanks so much for the reporting. Donald trump trying to tone it down, going full teleprompter last night and telling his supporters he will never disappoint them.

In a scripted teleprompter speech last night, donald trump toning down his rhetoric and trying to reassure republicans that he will not let them down in the leadup to november. Youve given me the honor to lead the Republican Party to victory this fall. I understand the responsibility of carrying the mantle, and i will never, ever let you down. Too much work, too many people, blood, sweat, and tears. Never going to let you down. I will make you proud of your party and our movement, and thats what it is, is a movement. Those who voted for someone else in either party, i will work hard to earn your support, and i will work very hard to earn that support. Okay. Lets bring back Juana Summers and David Gregory. Also joining us now is mark preston. So that was definitely a more mute ed donald trump. Does that suggest someone in his campaign said, okay, time to start using the teleprompter . Certainly seems something has shifted. This isnt the first tonal shift weve seen from donald trump. Weve seen him wheel out the teleprompter. Weve seen him appear more president ial. I was struck by the language he used. It was almost textbook from a traditional speech youd hear from a more traditional politician. Hes talk abouting what a great honor it is to lead the gop, what kind of a moment this is, looking ahead to the general election fight with Hillary Clinton. Im sure if youre in the establishment of the republican, say reince priebus, paul ryan, this is the kind of donald trump you wish would have come out from day one. The question i have though, is it too late to make a difference, considering donald trump is dealing with past comments hes made about women, hes dealing with this controversy over a mexican judge because of his heritage. Is this enough, even if you use this type of demeanor during the general election. One good indication from this speech is that hell listen to somebody. He has a ton of pressure on him. Obviously it resulted in what we saw last night. Mark preston, a softening of the image and language, a softening in the image in terms of what were exposed to. His daughter and wife behind him there. When he made the turn to Hillary Clinton, it was a string of accusations which would be tough to prove on any level about the motivation for her email server and deals that the clintons made while she was in office. Hundreds of millions of dollars in deals. Where is he going with that . Well, certainly at a time right now, chris, where his comments have caused him such heartache and have caused such diser a rift in the Republican Party. Hillary clinton is going out directly at the presumptive nominee and saying youre going to take the fight to her. Thats saying youre going to give a speech next week where youre going to lay out all of what he says are the clintons problems and how hes going to attack them. What was important about last nights speech is that he was able to deliver it. The question is, can he continue on with this path where he looks more president ial than
