The general election match basically seven, Hillary Clinton versus donald trump as we wait for senator Bernie Sanders to speak. Tuesday evening in west. Welcome to americas election headquarters, Hillary Clinton basked in the cheers of her supporters as she became the first female nominee, a historic night, the first one have a Major Political party. This as fox news can project that after multiple wins tuesday night clinton will have enough pledged delegates to secure the democratic nomination. Weve reached a milestone. First time in our nations history that a woman will be a major party nominee. So now she has pledged and the super delegates as well. Mrs. Clinton faced a tough fight in california from senator sanders. He is expected to speak from santa monica any moment now. President obama called the senator earlier in the night to thank him for energizing the voters and were told the two will meet on thursday. Donald trump has already clinched his partys nomination and he won five more primaries and donald trump has enough bound delegates to guarantee him the republican nomination. He spoke earlier this evening. A different type of speech from mr. Trump because he used a teleprompter tonight appearing more president ial and he came out hard against mrs. Clinton. We kocant solve our problem by counting on the politicians who created our problems. 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. For senator sanders to speak in california trying to see where he is going with this campaign, there are reports that he is laying off many staff members, especially those in the field having do with the campaign. There is the setting or actually hes expected to speak there and they are not happy. Those supporters were booing at one point when president obama, they got the word that the president talked with the senator earlier this evening so we will see what the senator says and if he is pulling back on his campaign, if he will concede or vow to continue which he has said in the past taking this to a contested convention because for him its been more than running for president its been the start of a movement. He probably thought he would do better than he has tonight. He won north dakota. California has not been called but hes behind in that state as well. We will see what he has to say. Well take you there live. Donald trump tallied five more states tuesday night but has he taken steps backwards. He is coming under fire for comments about the federal judge presiding over the civil lawsuits. He has said the judge is biased against him because hes of mexican heritage, those comments causing one lawmaker in illinois to resend his support and now Lindsey Graham is calling on other republicans to do the same. Lets bring in the trump senior representative. Good morning to you. Very Early Morning but happy to be here. Thanks for having me. Thank you so much. First of all ill ask your general impression of this evening and the results. I mean, look we have made history. There has not been this many votes for a gop primary contender ever. Sweeping five states tonight and mr. Trump had a great theme in his speech about unifying the party moving forward and how honored he is to have the support of the other candidates and he wants to welcome bernie supporters which i thought was a great thing to add so were looking forward to shifting to the general election strategy. Speaking of that support, after paul ryans endorsement it seemed to it seems that donald trump was maybe pivoting and then he pivoted back and hes had all these controversial comments over the judge presiding over the Trump University case but then this evening sounding more president ial. Do you expect this trend will continue. I think what were going to see now is were going to be focusing on the issues. I want to clarify Hillary Clinton has named herself the presumptive nominee and i think its important for the American Public and the viewers to know that the dnc has a very strict process in terms of the super delegates and they cannot count those votes technically until the actual dnc election. She is really misinforming the public to say she is the actual presumptive nominee at this point but looking forward to the general election as i do anticipate that she will be the contender, we will be focusing on the issues because her platform is emotion and when we look at things like the economy, jobs, National Security issues, she doesnt have a very strong premise to stand on so we look forward to unveiling those issues specifically. But in terms of unity of the gop, how can donald trump now as the nominee bring everyone back together when you have people like Lindsey Graham asking people who are now endorsing him to take back those endorsements. I think if you look at the historic voter turnout he has unified the gop and hes reached across party lines. This has never been done before. Its not a politics as usual career politician and perhaps maybe some of these individuals arent used to his method of delivery or his tone at times but he speaks from his heart and from conviction and when he puts his heart and mind to a goal he accomplishes it. Hes accomplished something so amazing up to this point and we will continue to do so and he will accomplish becoming the next president of the United States. He said he has a big announcement coming up this week. Do you have any ideas that you can give us as to what that will be. I dont at this time. I certainly let him do that. I certainly look forward to that myself. What about a vp pick, have you heard anything on that front . Corey lewandowski is heading up that process and thats tightly held im sure for obvious reasons. We look forward to unveiling that at the right time. Do you think hell be sticking more to a prompter like he did this evening. Its hard to tell mr. Trump speaks from the heart. He has conversations with americans at his rallies aened when hes out on the campaign trail theyre having behind closed doors. So i think that depends on the format and theres many things that go into the decision to use the teleprompter but i think well take it as a goes. He speaks from his heart and he has a connection with the American People that no one has ever had. You talked about crossing over, there has to be some concern regarding the hispanic vote when it comes to the general election and the campaign will need to work on that. Have you heard how donald trump plans to reach out to those constituents, the hispanic voters . I think thats misplayed in terms of the media. I travel with mr. Trump and im on the front lines of the campaign. At these rallies and the overwhelming support from the Hispanic Community is already there. So again clearly thats an important voting block and we will continue to touch on those issues but the fact of the matter is mr. Trump remains committed to creating jobs for those people and by addressing illegal immigration as its been ignored by obama and for his eight years of his presidency and giving jobs away to illegal immigra immigrants mr. Trump is going to be creating jobs for those people who are here the right way and following the law. The economy, the number one issue for people across the board, it always continues to be. Thank you. Absolutely. Thanks for joining us and congratulation on a big night as well. Thank you. It is a big night in American History with Hillary Clinton becoming the first presumptive female nominee of a major party this after her failed bid in 2008 and it marks a turning point in our nation. Shes ahead of senator sanders right now and we expect him to take the podium any moment now. So the question is what will he say . Joining us now is brad sherman from california he is backing mrs. Clinton. Thank you for joining us this Early Morning or evening on the fox news channel. Good to be with you. There were reports of layoffs in the Sanders Campaign tonight and he will meet with president obama in washington on thursday. What will he say in a few minutes . Will he pack it in or continue or will he end his candidacy or as he has said will he still move on to the convention and try to contest it and grab some super delegates away from Hillary Clinton. Hillary clinton has won a majority of the pledged delegates, a majority of the super delegates. Shes won the majority of any kind of delegate. I am a super delegate. Theres no way theres going to be a rush of super delegates away from Hillary Clinton. She is our nominee. I dont know whether he will keep running for one more week because we do have a primary in the district of columbia but i think whether its this wednesday or next wednesday that were going to see him play a historic role and that is do everything he can to prevent a man thats appealing on the basis of racism keep that man out of the white house. Youre referring to donald trump but how does he do that . How do they get together potentially when he has said some nasty things about mrs. Clinton, hes had a movement against her and recently questioning the Clinton Foundation . I think the attacks on our side have been very modest compared to what you saw on the other side. Trump has unified a chunk of the Republican Party but obviously hes having problems. Theres nothing that would prevent one candidate from supporting the other. You believe that the senator will eventually support mrs. Clinton . I think at the end of this month and by the middle of this month but it may not be tomorrow or the next day. It seems like a blow out by mrs. Clinton, 61 to 37 . Youve got about 5 million absentee ballots. The polls show it was so close. Are you surprised by the apparent huge lead there it is. We have it on up on the screen now, that apparent almost nearly double that mrs. Clinton has against the senator so far . I am very gratified and a little surprised at how well were doing at this point in the evening. I think when all the ballots are counted and i think that by hillary winning in california, which was sanders last stand, it will be easier for him to bring his people aboard and unify behind a not only a historic candidacy in a good sense of the term, we have a nominee who is by temperament and by experience the most qualified person in the country to serve as president , but also a historic candidacy and turning back the first validly racist candidate for president that weve seen in my lifetime and im over 60 years old. Just over onethird of the vote in. 61 and 37 for senator sanders. Surely not what the polling predicted. Some said senator sanders would win california and thats not the situation tonight. Representative brad sherman we thank you for spending your evening with us. Thank you. Heather. Donald trump is the gops president ial nominee winning the garden state and picking up an additional 51 delegates but some republicans appear to be app ensive about trumps success. Joining us by phone is the republican committeeman from new jersey. Thank you for joining us this morning. No problem. How was voter turn out in new jersey. A little early to tell but i think it was on par four years ago when mitt romney got 80 of the vote and donald trump got about the same amount. 81 so far that weve seen. A big strong win, donald trump won every single county in new jersey. He won every single Congressional District so at 81 of the vote shows the broad breadth of support republicans in new jersey are giving to donald trump. All 21 countries in new jersey. In terms of the gop leadership in your state, how do they feel about the presumptive nominee . He had the endorsement of virtually every single county chairmen. Our leadership in the legislator. No one ever has you anonymous support. But the vast majority of leadership were behind donald trump and thats why he had the Organizational Support and all those counties. Won every single and won every single Congressional District. Do you think any of those lawmakers may change their mind based on some of the controversy surrounding donald trump this past week or do you think that theyll move on from that . I think theyll move on from that. Listen, its the first week of june. Theres a long way to go here. Two conventions yet to be held. People will have up weeks and down weeks and i think the support in new jersey is going to grow. He definitely sounded completely different in the speech that he gave there this eving in new jersey. What did you think about it . I think it was very good. He struck the right tone, very president ial and was looking forward. I think thats what republicans in new jersey and around the country wanted to see. Thank you so much for joining us. Appreciate you staying up late with us. Thank you. Were waiting for senator Bernie Sanders to address a crowd of supporters in santa monica. Hes going to appear at a podium right there any moment now. The question is will he press on to the washington, d. C. Primary next week or will he call for party unity and fall in line with Hillary Clinton or will he repeat his vow to take his fight to the convention floor. Well take you live to the senator and show you that crowd. Theyre jumping up and down. They cant wait to see him but they are disappointed tonight. Plus the presumptive republican nominee donald trump vowing he can take california in the general election. Coming up, the fight for that key Battle Ground state and others. This is your daughter. And she just got this. Ooh boy. But, youve got hum. So you can set this. And if she drives like this, you can tell her to drive more like this. Because youll get this. You can even set boundaries for so if she should be here, but instead goes here, here, or here. Youll know. So dont worry, mom. Because you put this, in here. Hum by verizon.

Vote yes on the drug price relief act. And Drug Companies are spending man 1 i came as fast as i drug sman 2 this isnt public yet. Man 1 what isnt . Man 2 weve been attacked. Man 1 the network . Man 2 shhhh. Man 1 when did this happen . Man 2 over the last six months. Man 1 how did we miss it . Man 2 we caught it, just not in time. Man 1 who . How . Man 2 not sure, probably offshore, foreign, pros. Man 1 what did they get . Man 2 what didnt they get. Man 1 i need to call mike. Man 2 dont use your phone. Its not just security, its defense. Bae systems. The supporters have fired up as they wait for the candidate. The question right now will he gracefully bow out or continue the crew said that has inspired so many young voters. Lets listen for a second. Lets bring in our Political Panel to say what they will say. Is bernie done . It looks like he is as my friend judy miller would say toast but i want to say this. I dont think his movement is and i think that what he will bring in to the party is how super delegates are held or done in the future. I think the Platform Committee will be meeting actually theyre starting to meet tomorrow. He has five people on that Platform Committee. I think thats going to be very influential in what happens in the general election. What do you do with all the dashed hopes of all those millions of people that he inspired. Are they going to go with Hillary Clinton . Theres a lot of talk about her appointing the senator from Elizabeth Warren from massachusetts. That would be two women on the ticket but theres a lot of talk about that. That would take care of the bernie crowd. Hes set to meet with president obama on thursday. What do you think will happen there judy. Ive given up predictions in this election. I do think that clearly its going to be a kind of come to jesus moment, a little talk between the president and the leader of the party and i think he will call upon Bernie Sanders to do the right thing if he hasnt already done it by then i suspect after california he probably. This is a decisive defeat for him. If he listen to senator sanders what hes been saying so far, he says these super delegates can change their minds and president obama is a super delegate. What is to keep sanders from trying to change obamas mind. Thats when he thought Hillary Clinton wouldnt clinch enough delegates to get the nomination, i think she does clinch it based on delegates alone. I think the president is eager to get into this campaign to take on donald trump so i think thats the reason behind meeting with Hillary Clinton so quickly. I thidont think the sanders movement follows certainly not in anonymous way and i think he might have created something even beyond his own control from this point forward. So it will be interesting to see now having lost california likely and having Hillary Clinton with pledged delegates if he keeps his word to keep the march on to philadelphia but i think that is detached from the movement hes created does. Bernie sanders argues that he does better in the polling and he beats donald trump if you look at the general election, what about a thirdpar
