Sen. Barack Obama will formally capture the Democratic presidential nomination after next week’s final primaries in Puerto Rico, Montana and South Dakota.
Obama’s campaign adviser, David Axelrod, said that after the June 3 primaries “Obama will ‘be at the number we need to claim the nomination’.”
According to CNN’s latest estimate, Obama is 52 delegates short of clinching the nomination while Sen. Hillary Clinton needs 246.
On Tuesday, Edward Lewis, chairman and founder of Essence Magazine and chairman of Latina Magazine, endorsed Obama, switching from Clinton and citing Obama’s vision for a better America.
Lewis said:
“As the founder of a woman’s magazine, I acknowledge that Senator Clinton has served as a role model for many women across America and I have great admiration for her.
However, as the campaign has unfolded, I have witnessed the strength of Senator Obama and both his passion and commitment for new possibilities for a better America. His conviction has led to my conviction that he is the hope for our country. I urge all Americans to support his candidacy for President of the United States.”
