Trump, Clinton win Washington state’s presidential primaries

Donald Trump no longer needs California to secure his party’s presidential nomination, but Democrats Hillary Clinton and Sen. Trump picked up at least 24 delegates in Washington, the AP said. “And I honestly hope that Secretary Clinton will rethink her decision not to do a debate. It would be in a big arena”. “Nobody understands it, but it’s an unfair system”, said Trump.

Both Clinton and Sanders have campaigned intensely throughout the state this week.

With less than six months until nationwide presidential polls, neither Donald Trump nor Hillary Clinton are viewed favorable by Americans, according to a poll released Tuesday.

Sanders, a United States senator from Vermont, is still in a primary battle against Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, while Trump effectively clinched the Republican Party’s nomination earlier this month when his two remaining rivals dropped out.

“I’d love to debate Bernie, but they’ll have to pay a lot of money for it”, he said. When Kimmel asked Trump about the apparent flip-flop, Trump blamed the comments on the realities of being a businessman, claiming that as a businessman he would speak favorably about any politician and give donations to anyone who asked in order to win favors.

Sanders quickly responded on Twitter, writing, “Game on”.

Trump will probably achieve and surpass this number on June 7 when the republicans in New Jersey, Montana, South Dakota, New Mexico and the country’s most populous state California will go to the polls.

Earlier this week Clinton declined to debate Sanders ahead of the California primary, with her spokeswoman saying her time was “best spent campaigning and meeting directly with voters across California”.

“Smart and bold move by Sanders“, Democratic strategist Brad Bannon said.

Without naming a dollar amount to guarantee his appearance in a debate against Sanders, Trump speculated the event would have “such high ratings”.

“If Bernie doesn’t win, definitely yeah”, Mario Sauceda said.

But Trump’s getting along with House Speaker Paul Ryan.

“He’s in this until every last vote is counted and he’s fighting for every last delegate”, said Sanders’ spokesman Michael Briggs. But some worry his supporters – who are largely young, working-class and disillusioned with party establishment – will turn instead to political neophyte Trump, who has championed a populist agenda.
