After strong wins in Tuesday’s primaries in California, New Jersey and New Mexico, Hillary Clinton made history last night becoming the first woman to claim the mantle of presumptive Democratic nominee for president. And in California, two minority women, both Democrats, will face off in the general election for California’s first open senate seat in 24 years.

Here & Now‘s Jeremy Hobson talks to NPR’s lead political editor Domenico Montanaro and Scott Shafer, KQED’s senior editor for California politics and government, about last night’s election results, and what happens next.
