UPDATE: Clinton wins the USVI 84% - 12%. She wins 6 of the 7 pledged delegates.
She now needs just 61 delegates to clinch!
~
According to AP’s latest count, Clinton is just 67 delegates shy of the nomination. This means, once she hits 2,383 pledged/super delegates, AP and others will call the race. She will be the presumptive nominee.
Hillary has picked up the support of an additional 3 superdelegates.
Here’s the latest AP tracker:

Puerto Rico and the USVI hold their contests this weekend.
There are 67 pledged delegates up for grabs and even if they were to evenly split the delegates in these two contests, Hillary will stand less than 35 delegates shy of clinching the Democratic nomination. When NJ closes, she will clinch.
After PR and USVI, there will be 714 pledged delegates remaining. Clinton will easily win enough of the remaining pledged delegates on June 7th to hit 2,026.
2,026 chosen by the voters and the MAJORITY of the pledged delegates.
No matter what Bernie Sanders says, 2,026 pledged delegates and this is over. There will be no contested convention. This fantasy superdelegate scheme and goalpost shifting is getting out of hand. Either you lose with grace or you get out of the way. Hillary will be our nominee and Democrats have an election to win in November.
The voters have spoken. Let’s respect that.
