US election 2016: Can a VP pick help Trump look more 'presidential'?
The presumptive Republican nominee has many choices for his vice presidential pick, but will that matter?
It's official: Democrat Hillary Clinton is now the first female presidential nominee of a major party in US history.
Following a decisive win in California on June 7, the former secretary of state can focus on her November showdown with Republican Donald Trump. She got a head start this week, with a ringing endorsement from President Barack Obama and a four-point lead in the polls, according to the latest RealClearPolitics average.
Trump, meanwhile, has been in a free fall over his racially tinged remarks about a Hispanic judge, and now trails Clinton 44.1% to 40.3%. Republican luminaries are apoplectic, and urging him to adopt a more measured tone — advice the businessman appeared to take to heart in a relatively well-received speech following Tuesday's primary results.
