Barack Obama clinched the Democratic presidential nomination Tuesday, becoming the first African-American to run for the nation’s highest office as the standard bearer of a major political party.

“This is our moment … our time to turn the page on the policies of the past,” Obama declared

“Because of you, tonight I can stand here and say that I will be the Democratic nominee for the president of the United States of America,” he said.

On the other hand, Hillary Clinton, speaking in New York City Tuesday evening, did not concede the race. “This has been a long campaign, and I will be making no decision tonight,” she said to cheering supporters.

With some Montana and South Dakota pledged delegates still outstanding, the AP reported that Obama has 2,144 delegates, and Clinton has 1,919.5.
