Hillary Clinton has claimed victory in the Democratic Presidential nomination race over Bernie Sanders.
The 68-year-old is the first woman to ever win a major party nominee for President of the United States.
Clinton hailed the victory a milestone and tweeted it was for "every little girl who dreams big".
Bernie Sanders has said he was "really disappointed" that rival Hillary Clinton was declared the presumptive Democratic nominee on the eve of primary elections in six states, by the Associated Press.
Mr Sanders expressed concern that the reports of Mrs Clinton's victory came the night before California which he described as "the largest primary" - and was annoyed by the way it was done.
He said that it was based on what he described as "anonymous" commitments from superdelegates - the party insiders and Democratic officials who can vote for the candidate of their choice at the summer convention.
Bernie Sanders has vowed to "continue the fight" against Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary.
Hillary Clinton's theme for the 22 weeks left of the campaign is 'build bridges, not walls and be inclusive not discriminatory.'
Hillary Clinton claimed victory in the Democratic Presidential race and said her win should "encourage little girls to dream big".
