It is looking more and more likely that Clinton heads into June 7 winning 4 of the last 5

Kentucky Primary - Won
Oregon Primary - Lost
Washington Primary - Won

Before the 7th, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico will hold a caucus and primary, respectively. Based on history, how the other territories have voted and local sentiment, Clinton is probably going to win both of these. And, in the case of Puerto Rico, possibly by a substantial margin.

Not quite the "Hillary needs this because momentum" narrative that the media is hoping for come the final Super Tuesday.

They do vote for the nominee. And these 2 territories have 79 total delegates between them Godhumor May 2016 #6
voteless perhaps, but 60 primary delegates at-stake - so winning is important DrDan May 2016 #7
