| Clinton props switch from campaign signs to US flags | |
| Lauren Gambino | |
| The Guardian’s Lauren Gambino is inside the Hillary Clinton event at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. | |
| “Hundreds of supporters waving American flags crowded into the spacious Duggal Greenhouse at the Navy Yard in Brooklyn in anticipation of Clinton’s big victory speech,” Lauren writes: | |
| The flags are a notable change from the blue campaign signs that have so far decorated her rallies, a symbol of a transition between the contest winding down and the one looming ahead. | |
| Outside, a line snaked around the building, as the sun set over a sweeping view of the Williamsburg bridge. It’s a picturesque setting for a historic moment, nearly one year after Clinton entered the race with a speech on nearby Roosevelt Island. | |
| The crowd is ebullient, helped only slightly by the concession stand selling beer and wine. Sporadic cheers erupt every few minutes and those standing in the risers pop up to shout and cheer. | |

| Polls close in New Jersey | |
| Polling stations in New Jersey, where Hillary Clinton is the favorite in the Democratic race, have closed. | |
| Clinton defeated Barack Obama 54-44 in the state’s 2008 Democratic primary. Clinton also performed strongly this year in neighboring New York, which she won by 16 points. | |
| The polls have closed in New Jersey. They've also closed in the CDT part of South Dakota--so have an eye on those results, too | |

| Donald Trump made his first endorsement in a congressional race, encouraging Republican primary voters to back Renee Ellmers, who was running for reelection in North Carolina’s second congressional district. The district had been redrawn since Ellmers’ last election. | |

| Trump endorsed Ellmers, who's taking 3rd place in #NC02. But redistricting and $ were against her and he barely helped her. | |
