Hillary Clinton is ready to put the Bernie Sanders campaign to rest in the last of the big primaries before the Democratic National Convention in July - but the Vermont senator will not go quietly.

While the Associated Press made its Monday night declaration that the former Secretary of State has earned more than enough delegates to be the nominee, Mr Sanders has vowed to take his “revolution” all the way to the Philadelphia convention.

Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump will continue to bask in his victory, and the Democratic rivals will split 694 delegates from six states - New Jersey, California, New Mexico, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota - after Tuesday’s vote.

The District of Columbia is the last primary for the Democrats and is taking place on 14 June.

Ms Clinton currently has a delegate count of 2,383 - the number needed to win the nomination, and 571 of whom are superdelegates and will cast their votes at the Convention. Mr Sanders trails with 1,569 delegates.

Mr Sanders, however, insists he can change the minds of the superdelegates by late-July.

Green Party candidate Dr Jill Stein suggested California voters choose between the two "non-corporate" candidates on the ballot: herself or Sen Bernie Sanders.

Although President Barack Obama has plans to attend fundraisers in New York beginning Wednesday, he does not plan to meet with, or campaign for, Hillary Clinton. 

“These fundraisers have been on the books for quite some time, and I don’t believe that most people believed that the Democratic nomination would continue to be contested into the first week in June," Press Secretarty Josh Earnest said during a Tuesday briefing.

"So I can tell you that the president does not expect to see or meet or appear with Secretary Clinton when he’s in New York tomorrow.”
