AP: Hillary Clinton less than 250 delegates from Democratic presidential nomination

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Clinton is assured of winning more delegates than Bernie Sanders for the night after wins in Connecticut, Maryland, Delaware and Pennsylvania, padding her overall big lead.

She's now less than 250 delegates away from clinching the Democratic nomination.

Pennsylvania and Maryland were the two biggest delegate prizes on Tuesday.

In those states plus Delaware, Clinton will win at least 142 delegates. Sanders will take at least 66. Many remain to be allocated pending final vote tallies.
