Hillary Clinton edges closer to nomination with Puerto Rico win
Hillary Clinton moved to just 20 votes short of securing the Democratic Party's presidential nomination with a win in the US Caribbean territory of Puerto Rico on Sunday.
The victory along with a win Saturday in the US Virgin Islands places Clinton 20 delegates short of the 2,383 she needs to seal the nomination and gives her momentum heading into the final state primaries on Tuesday.
With almost 70 per cent of polling stations counted, Clinton was leading with 59.38 per cent of votes, ahead of Bernie Sanders at 37.53 per cent, according to the latest count on the Democratic Party of Puerto Rico website.
"We just won Puerto Rico!" Clinton tweeted before thanking the "island of enchantment" in Spanish.
