PHILADELPHIA — Hillary Clinton is on the verge of victory in the Democratic presidential primary, winning in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Delaware on Tuesday night. Her rival, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, won in Rhode Island.

Clinton already appeared to be on the path toward clinching the race and becoming the first female major party presidential nominee on April 19, when she earned a victory in her home state of New York. At that point, Sanders was left with an extremely slim chance of earning enough delegates to secure the party’s nomination. Tonight, that possibility all but closed.

Even before Clinton’s four victories, Sanders needed to win every remaining state in the Democratic primary by more than 13 points to surpass her in delegates, a scenario that no polls have predicted. Clinton would be the first female presidential nominee from the Democratic or Republican Party.
