Hillary Rodham Clinton, according to the Associated Press, has secured the delegates necessary to clinch the democratic Presidential nomination outright, announcing just hours before the California voters took to the polls in a highly contested Primary race.
Clinton, who has been the presumptive democratic presidential nominee throughout the primary process, has fought for each vote as her formidable challenger, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders has proven his message resonates among a strong subset of the population.
Clinton, is the first female to ever lead a major party ticket and has continued to direct her focus on the general election and defeating Republican Candidate Donald J. Trump.
Clinton also served as Secretary of State during President Obama’s First Term. She has been the focus of several investigations over her handling of email and the terror attack on Benghazi. Her mishandling of email continues to dog her efforts daily.
The Benghazi Attack, on the September 11, 2012, the anniversary of the Terrorist attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, she took full responsibility for the security breaches that gave way to the lessened security. Libyan Ambassador Christopher J. Stevens and three others were murdered in the terror raid and fire that destroyed the compound.
Clinton served as New York State Senator for two years, First Lady of the United States for two terms and First Lady of Arkansas during her husband’s Presidency and governorships.
