| Sanders to lay off much of staff Wednesday – NY Times | |
| “Senator Bernie Sanders plans to lay off at least half his campaign staff Wednesday,” the New York Times reports: | |
| Many of those being laid off are advance staff members who often help with campaign logistics, as well as field staff members who have been working to garner votes for the senator, according to both a campaign official and a former campaign staff member, both of whom spoke on condition of anonymity. Some campaign workers may move into jobs at Mr. Sanders’s Senate office, but others will be terminated, they said. | |

| Clinton backer: 'it's about time' | |
| Lauren Gambino | |
| Samantha Black, a self-described socialist, came to the Navy Yard with her young son Ruslan, whom she dressed in a pink Planned Parenthood T-shirt, to give him a front-row seat to history, writes the Guardian’s Lauren Gambino: | |
| “I’m really emotional, I’m super emotional,” Black said, wiping tears from her eyes. “I’ve waited my whole life for this.” | |
| Black, who herself wore a teal shirt with an image of Clinton holding a sword high with a quote “I was born to do this”, blames sexism for much of Clinton’s early campaign woes. | |
| “If anyone with her qualifications was running as a man, they would not have to put up with the garbage that she’s had to put up with,” Black said. | |
| “She’s got 25 years of negatives and she’s still standing. She’s a real symbol of endurance and smarts and it’s about time.” | |

| Together, we secured the Democratic nomination. For the first time ever, a woman will be a major party’s nominee to become President of the United States | |

| While we wait for Clinton, (here’s that video stream), let’s cast an eye at the races still out. Our comprehensive results page is here. | |
| On the Democratic side, Clinton is nursing a decent-looking lead in New Mexico, up seven points with 22% reporting. She also appears out front in South Dakota. But Sanders is looking very comfortable in the North Dakota caucus, up solid double digits with 60% reporting. | |
| We're starting to get some vote in from Minnehaha County, the largest in SD. It's a tie so far--not what Sanders needs | |

| Trump to GOP: 'I will make you proud of our party' | |
| What did you think of Trump? Here was the standout line, for us. He’s talking to Republican supporters – including many elected officials who have expressed disgust in recent days over his remarks about judge Gonzalo Curiel. Trump told them he understands how hard they worked. And he promised not to let them down: | |
| I understand the responsibility of carrying the mantle, and I will never ever let you down... I will make you proud of our party and of the movement. | |
| Update: There were multiple speechwriters cooking that pot, NBC reports: | |
| Speech crafted by small team: Christie, Ivanka, Sessions and some staff per @NicolleDWallace. You could see Ivanka almost mouthing along. | |
