AP: Clinton defeats Sanders in PA
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) Hillary Clinton has defeated rival Bernie Sanders in Pennsylvania, taking another step in her march to the Democratic presidential nomination.
The Democratic front-runner has deep family ties in Pennsylvania, where Clinton’s grandfather worked in a Scranton lace mill and her father, Hugh Rodham, grew up there and played football at Penn State. Clinton spent summers at the family’s summer cottage on nearby Lake Winola.
Both Clinton and Sanders, the Vermont senator, campaigned in Pennsylvania ahead of Tuesday’s primary. Clinton is holding an election-night party in Philadelphia.
