Clinton wins Democratic primary |
Hillary Clinton brought a close to the presidential primary season with a win on June 14 in the nation`s capital and a meeting with dispatched rival Bernie Sanders, hoping to set a tone of Democratic unity heading into July`s party convention in Philadelphia.Clinton`s win in the District of Columbia, the final primary of 2016, had no bearing on her role as the presumptive nominee, but it nevertheless marked a transition in the lengthy primary fight between the two rivals.Clinton said they both want to raise the minimum wage, want to fight inequality of income, want to make college affordable and certainly want everybody to get health care.Before polls closed in Washington, Sanders vowed again to do all he can to prevent the presumptive Republican presidential nominee from reaching the White House, but he declined to endorse Clinton.The Vermont senator has said the private meeting will help him determine how committed Clinton will be to the policy issues he has staked out during his 13-month campaign.
