Democratic nomination to Hillary Clinton

Super delegates made Hillary Clinton for US President after reaching the required number of delegates, an AP tally suggests.

Mrs Clinton reached the threshold with a big win in Puerto Rico and a burst of last-minute support from super delegates, AP said.

But rival Bernie Sanders said Mrs Clinton had not won as she was dependent on super delegates who could not vote until July’s party convention.

The count puts Mrs Clinton on 2,383 – the number needed to make her the presumptive nominee.

She will become the first female nominee for a major US political party.
