| Clinton closes: 'stronger together' | |
| Clinton says she cares most about future, unwritten history. She says the country faces a crucial choice “and we need to make sure” that it’s the right one. | |
| “The end of the primaries is only the beginning of the work we are called to do. And if we stand together, we will rise together, because we are stronger together.” | |
| The crowd goes nuts, she thanks them, and that’s it. She’s standing soaking up the cheers claps whoops and, now, a hug from daughter Chelsea, son-in-law Mark Mezvinsky and husband Bill. | |

| Clinton refers to self as 'Democratic party's nominee' | |
| Clinton continues. She says her mother “taught me never to back down from a bully, which it turns out was pretty good advice.” | |
| Clinton says her mother was born last Saturday, on 4 June, 1919 – the day Congress passed the 19th amendment to the constitution giving women the right to vote. | |
| She says she wishes her mother could be there “to see her daughter become the Democratic party’s nominee.” | |
| “There are still ceilings to break for women and for all of us, but don’t let anyone tell you that barriers can’t break in America. | |
| She says progress has moved “unmistakably.” “Now you are writing a new chapter of that story. This campaign is about making sure there are no limits, no ceilings on any of us.” | |
| It’s time to come together, she says again. “Help us organize in all 50 states.” | |
| 3.39am BST | |
| 03:39 | |
| Top Trump organization surrogate and strategist Michael Cohen isn’t impressed with Clinton so far: | |
| Scripted crooked @HillaryClinton has very good speech writers. Too bad she will deliver on NONE of her rhetoric. We need @realDonaldTrump | |
| 3.38am BST | |
| 03:38 | |
| Clinton says “this election is not about the same old [partisan] fight, but really is about who we are as a nation... | |
| “It’s about people coming together to say, ‘we are better than this. This is not who we are as a nation.’ | |
| “And if you agree, whether you are a Democrat, Republican or an Independent, I hope you will join us.” | |
| Hillary Clinton finally (and rightly) getting the rock star welcome at her campaign rally in Brooklyn. History is being made. | |

| Clinton: Trump 'goes against everything we stand for' | |
| Clinton continues, and unloads on Trump: | |
| “We believe that we are stronger together, and the stakes are high and the choice is clear: | |
| “Donald Trump is temperamentally unfit to be president. And he’s not just trying to build a wall [with] Mexico, he’s trying to wall off Americans from each other. | |
| “When he says, ‘let’s make America great again,” that’s a code for ‘let’s take America backwards’” to a time of unequal opportunity and prosperity only for some. | |
| Clinton continues: | |
| “We however, we want to write the next chapter in American greatness... | |
| “When Donald Trump says a distinguished judge born in Indiana can’t do his job because of his Mexican heritage, or he mocks a reporter with disabilities, or calls women pigs, it goes against everything we stand for. Because we want an America where everyone is treated with respect... | |
| “It’s clear that [Trump] does not believe we are stronger together,” Clinton says. She says Trump has abused his opponents’ families, attacked the press and disparaging immigrants, and “reminding us daily just how great he is,” Clinton says. | |
| 3.32am BST | |
| 03:32 | |
| Clinton says it never feels good to put your heart into a cause or a candidate you believe in and come up short. | |
| “I know that feeling well.” | |
| Then she makes her call for unity: | |
| “But as we look ahead to the battle that awaits,” let’s consider our common ground, she says. | |
| She’s talking to people who supported losing Republicans, too, she has gone out of her way to say. | |
| “We believe that cooperation is better than conflict... and bridges are better than walls.’ | |
| 3.30am BST | |
| 03:30 | |
| Clinton: 'I want to congratulate Senator Sanders' | |
| Clintons thanks volunteers, activists, supporters. “And thanks especially to our friends in New Jersey for such an astounding victory.” | |
| Clinton says she’s won “a majority of contests and, after tonight, a majority of pledged delegates.” | |
| She thanks Americans who have spoken with her. She says “so many of you feel that no one has your back. Well I do.” | |
| Then she turns to Sanders: | |
| I want to congratulate Senator Sanders for the extraordinary campaign he has run. He has spent his long career in public service fighting for progressive causes... and let there be no mistake. Senator Sanders, his campaign and the vigorous debate that we had... have been very good for the Democratic party and for America.” | |
| 3.27am BST | |
| 03:27 | |
| “Tonight’s victory is not about one person,” Clinton says. “It belongs to generations.” | |
| Then she rewinds to the women’s suffrage movement and Seneca Falls in 1848. | |
| “It was the first time in human history that that kind of declaration occurred. So we all owe so much to those who came before. And tonight belongs to all of you.” | |
| That’s a play for history. | |
| 3.26am BST | |

| Clinton: 'a woman will be ... nominee' | |
| Here comes Clinton – and her microphone fails a bit at the start. “I am so grateful to you. It is wonderful to be back in Brooklyn,” she says. | |
| “It may be hard to see tonight, but we are all standing under a glass ceiling right now. But don’t worry. We’re not smashing this one. Thanks to you, we’ve reached a milestone. The first time in our nation’s history that a woman will be a major party’s nominee.” | |
