Clinton Becomes Democratic Party's Presumptive Nominee

Almost eight years from the day that she bowed out of a tight race against Barack Obama, Clinton made history with the announcements, becoming the first woman to top a major political party's ticket in the United States.

Without the fanfare of an election night victory Hillary Clinton was declared the winner of the Democratic nomination this on Monday as she campaigned in Los Angeles.

The Associated Press, which runs the premiere delegate-tracking service, first made the call and was quickly followed by NBC News.
