希拉里·克林頓星期二贏得民主黨總統候選人提名所需代表人票數，從而將成爲美國曆史上首位代表一個重要政黨角逐白宮的女性。

Her democratic rival, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, won North Dakota and Montana Tuesday, but Clinton won South Dakota, New Mexico, and New Jersey.

星期二，另一位民主黨總統參選人、佛蒙特州國會參議員桑德斯在北達科他州和蒙塔納州的初選中獲勝，而希拉里·克林頓贏得了南達科他州、新墨西哥州和新澤西州。

Clinton also won the largest state in question, California, securing a majority of its 475 delegates.

希拉里·克林頓還拿下了最大的擁有475張代表人票的加利福尼亞州初選，獲得大部分代表人票。

President Obama called both candidates Tuesday, congratulating Secretary Clinton for securing the necessary delegates to secure the nomination. He also thanked Senator Sanders for mobilizing millions of Americans and bringing attention to issues such as fighting economic inequality.

奧巴馬總統星期二給兩位參選人打電話，祝賀希拉里·克林頓獲得確保民主黨總統候選人提名的代表人票。奧巴馬也感謝桑德斯激勵了衆多美國選民，使人們關注如經濟平等的一系列社會問題。

Sanders told supporters in California that he called Secretary Clinton Tuesday evening to congratulate her. He spoke about working together to defeat Trump, but did not acknowledge Clinton's presumptive nomination and gave no indication that he intended to concede, vowing to "continue the fight".

桑德斯在加利福尼亞州對支持者們說，他星期二晚上給希拉里·克林頓打電話，向她表示祝賀。他說，要共同努力擊敗川普，但他沒有承認希拉里·克林頓已成爲民主黨推定總統候選人，也沒有顯示退選的意圖，並表示要“繼續戰鬥”。

California results are not yet available. Clinton will not be the party's official nominee until the voting at the Democratic convention in July.

加利福尼亞州的初選結果尚未公佈。在民主黨7月舉行代表大會時，希拉里·克林頓纔將被正式提名爲該黨總統候選人。
