Hillary Clinton is the projected winner of Tuesday night’s Democratic primary in Washington D.C. with about 41 percent of the vote tallied, according to the Associated Press and CNN.

Clinton garnered 78.8 percent of the vote to Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) 21 percent in the final contest of the year.

Clinton became the party’s presumptive nominee last week.

Sanders has said he would stay in the race until the party’s summer convention. His campaign confirmed to TPM on Tuesday the senator plans to hold a live streamed talk with supporters to discuss the future of the campaign on Thursday night.
