Hillary Clinton has thanked her supporters for helping her reach a historic moment for women – the US Democratic nomination for president.
“Thanks to you, we’ve reached a milestone,” she told cheering crowds at a rally in New York.
Mrs Clinton hailed “the first time in our nation’s history that a woman will be a major party’s nominee”.
Hours later, she won the California Democratic primary, further cementing her hold on the nomination.
In all, she won four of the six states voting in primaries on Tuesday, also taking New Jersey, South Dakota and New Mexico.
Her rival Bernie Sanders found victory in the Montana and North Dakota caucuses and has refused to quit the race.
