Hillary wraps up Democratic primaries with a win in Washington

June 15, 2016 09:03

Hillary Clinton captured the mostly symbolic Democratic primary on Tuesday in the US Capital, the final vote of the 2016 presidential primaries, as the race shifts to her showdown with Republican rival Donald Trump.

Clinton won nearly 79% of the vote, compared with just 21% for Bernie Sanders, with nearly all votes counted, according to US networks.

It marked a deflating finish for the Vermont senator, who captivated liberals and independents with his grassroots campaign that challenged Clinton more than just about everyone expected.

But as the most controversial primary season in decades drew to a close, the attention of the candidates -- and the nation -- was elsewhere: grappling with the aftermath of the Orlando shooting, the deadliest terror attack on US soil since September 11, 2001.
