According to tallies by two US media outlets, Hillary Clinton has clinched the Democratic Party's presidential nomination on Monday.
Hillary has secured 1,812 pledged delegates and 572 superdelegates for a total of 2,384 delegates -- one more than needed for the nomination, reports said. Her delegate count will grow on Tuesday when six states, including delegate-rich California and New Jersey, hold contests.
Hillary and her rival Bernie Sanders face off on Tuesday in contests in six states. A former senator and US secretary of state, Hillary would be the first woman to ever be the presidential candidate of a major political party in the country's history.
But Sanders has vowed to keep up the fight in what has been a long and increasingly antagonistic Democratic primary race.
Sanders, a US senator from Vermont who calls himself a democratic socialist, has commanded huge crowds spilling out of parks and stadiums, galvanising younger voters with his promises to address economic inequality.
But Hillary has continued to edge out Sanders, particularly among older voters with longer ties to the Democratic party. Her less lofty promises focus on improving upon the policies of her fellow Democrat and former boss, President Barack Obama.
