Battleground California: Clinton and Sanders in final tight race Battleground California: Clinton emerges victorious over Sanders with 56% of votes
(about 4 hours later)
As polls close in California, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota and South Dakota, Tuesday could mark the end of either Bernie Sanders’ campaign or Hillary Clinton’s status as the presumptive nominee. Check back here for the results. Hillary Clinton has won California’s Democratic primary, NBC projects. The presumptive nominee will receive the majority of the state’s 475 delegates, with the leftovers going to runner-up Bernie Sanders.
With 694 delegates being distributed in Tuesday’s Democratic primaries, it is truly Bernie Sanders’ last stand against Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton. However, it may require a landslide victory for the senator to guarantee a contested Democratic National Convention in July. Although votes are still being tallied, Clinton has been dubbed the projected winner in the Golden State, with 56 percent of the votes thus far. 
NBC news has already projected Sanders securing the Democratic nomination in Montana with 51 percent of the vote, as opposed to Clinton's 45 percent. She is also the projected winner in New Jersey, with current numbers showing Clinton with 63 percent of the votes, compared to just 37 percent for Sanders.
Clinton, who currently has 2,497 delegates and 571 superdelegates, has already declared herself the Democratic nominee.
Sanders is standing at 1,663 delegates and 48 superdelegates.
However, NBC has projected that Sanders will win Montana, showing the Vermont senator with 51 percent of the votes. Clinton currently has 45 percent.
