Clinton on brink of Dem nomination; Trump strengthens path
By JULIE PACE
AP White House
Correspondent
WASHINGTON — Hil-
lary Clinton emerged from
New York’s presidential pri-
mary closer to clinching the
Democratic nomination and
Eecoming the ¿rst woman to
reach that milestone. Repub-
lican Donald Trump strength-
ened his own path to the
general election with a com-
manding victory, but has lit-
tle room for error in the states
ahead.
The front-runners now
hope to replicate their strong
showings in New York in the
cluster of Northeastern states
next up on the primary calen-
dar. Clinton was scheduled to
spend Wednesday campaign-
ing in Pennsylvania, while
Trump had a rally planned in
Maryland, as well as Indiana.
Following her win in New
York, a jubilant Clinton made
clear she was moving past her
unexpectedly competitive pri-
mary battle with Bernie Sand-
ers and setting her sights on
the general election.
“The race for the nomina-
tion is in the home stretch, and
victory is in sight,” Clinton
declared to cheering support-
ers. She mentioned Sanders
only brieÀy as she appealed
for support from his loyal
backers, and saved her tough-
est talk for Trump and Texas

state primary election, Tuesday, in New York.
Sen. Ted Cruz, deeming both
“dangerous” for America.
Ready to move on
Trump, too, is eager to
move past the Republican pri-
maries. With at least 89 of New
York’s 95 delegates in hand,
he insisted it was “impossible”
for any of his rivals to catch
him and warned party leaders
against trying to take the nom-
ination away from him at the
convention.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich won
at least three New York del-
egates; Texas Sen. Ted Cruz
was in danger of getting shut
out. Neither has a mathemat-
ical chance of clinching the
nomination before the Republi-
can convention in July, though
they hope to block Trump’s path
and overtake him at the GOP
gathering.
Cruz panned Trump’s win
in New York as little more than
“a politician winning his home
state,” then implored Repub-
licans to unite around his
candidacy.
“We must unite the Repub-
lican Party because doing so is
the ¿rst step in uniting all Amer-
icans,” Cruz said. A freshman
senator who has clashed repeat-
edly with his own party, Cruz
has generated only lukewarm
support from GOP leaders who
see him as the only option for
stopping Trump.
Solid victories
But Trump’s victory Tues-
day was hard to dispute, the bil-
lionaire winning almost 61 per-
cent of the popular vote, while
Kasich won 25 percent and Cruz
came in third with 14 percent.
On the Democratic side, Clinton
clinched New York with 58 per-
cent of the vote, while Sanders
won 42 percent.
Clinton’s triumph padded
her delegate lead, putting her
80 percent of the way toward
clinching the Democratic nom-
ination that eluded her eight
years ago. Appealing to Sand-
ers’ loyal supporters, Clinton
said, “There is more that unites
us than divides us.”
Exit polls suggested Demo-
crats were ready to rally around
whomever the party nominates.
Nearly 7 in 10 Sanders support-
ers in New York said that they
would de¿nitely or probably
vote for Clinton if she is the par-
ty’s pick.
Sanders energized young
people and liberals in New York,
as he has across the country, but
it wasn’t enough to pull off the
upset victory he desperately
needed to change the trajectory
of the Democratic race. Still, the
Vermont senator vowed to keep
competing.
“We’ve got a shot to vic-
tory,” Sanders said in an inter-
view with The Associated Press.
However, his senior adviser, Tad
Devine, said later that the cam-
paign planned to “sit back and
assess where we are” after a
string of contests next week.
Of the 247 Democratic dele-
gates at stake in New York, Clin-
ton picked up at least 135 while
Sanders gained at least 104.
Oregon Independent Party gets clarity on presidential nominations
By KRISTENA HANSEN
Associated Press
PORTLAND — Gearing
up for its ¿rst state-run primary
election next month, the Inde-
pendent Party of Oregon got
some clarity this week about
how it’ll be allowed to pick a
presidential nominee.
Registered members of the
IPO party, which became Ore-
gon’s third major party last
year, will pick their presiden-
tial candidate of choice through
a write-in on their ballots, but
whoever claims the most votes
in the state’s May 17 primary
won’t necessarily get the party’s
nominee. Instead, party lead-
ers can have the ¿nal say, under
certain parameters, the Ore-
gon Department of Justice said
Monday.
It won’t affect the Repub-
lican or Democratic contests,
which are restricted to voters
registered in those perspective
parties. But it’s the ¿rst time in
recent memory that Oregon’s
primary contest will have three
major parties, and the Inde-
pendent Party wanted more
control over who it nominates,
even when it doesn’t have its
own presidential candidate, as
is the case this year.
“It’s not aimed at being stuck
with an unappetizing choice —
it was aimed at the forces of the
state to not interfere with the
Independent Party in a man-
ner that was totally discrimina-
tory,” said Linda Williams, party
chairwoman.
While state law says the per-
son with the most votes gets
nominated or wins, the Depart-
ment of Justice said there’s an
exception for presidential nom-
inations, which follows a sep-
arate process. Thus, Indepen-
dent Party leaders don’t have to
nominate the presidential candi-
date with the most write-ins, the
department told the party in a
memorandum.
The Oregon Secretary of
State’s of¿ce had expressed con-
cerns about giving “veto power”
to party leaders last month, sug-
gesting it might be inconsis-
tent with state election laws and
asked the DOJ to weigh in.
“Now that the law is clear, the
IPO is free to operate within the
law,” Laura Terrill, chief of staff
to Secretary Jeanne Atkins, told
The Associated Press. “Because
of the potential for voter confu-
sion, however, the Secretary has
encouraged the IPO to make its
process clear on their website or
other places where the public
can be informed.”
Party leaders can’t pick just
anyone — if Donald Trump, for
instance, won the national GOP
nomination, the IPO couldn’t
nominate Sen. Ted Cruz, the
Department of Justice stated.
And the party also needs the
candidate’s permission to be
of¿cially nominated.
Williams said Monday’s
memo was a victory for the IPO,
saying it affords them the same
rights as Republicans and Dem-
ocrats who use delegates and
superdelegates — not voters —
to ultimately select presidential
nominees.
“The pushback from us was,
frankly, that that was unconsti-
tutional and illegal,” said Wil-
liams, referring to Atkins’ previ-
ous position on the issue. “The
state cannot step in and order a
political party to put somebody
as their nominee.”
When of¿cial write-in
results are posted by early June,
Williams said the IPO will nar-
row its options, have members
weigh in on their preferences
through an online process and
declare its nominee by the late
August deadline.
