Tuesday night’s primary race in the nation’s capital saw Hillary Clinton as the winner, with her snagging 78 percent of the votes, leaving her Democratic rival Bernie Sanders with only 21 percent.

  • Clinton won Tuesday's Democratic primary 78 percent to Sanders' 21 percent
  • The two candidates met privately Tuesday night
  • A Clinto adviser said the meeting was "very positive"

The former Secretary of State’s victory in D.C. solidifies her as the presumptive Democratic nominee, a title that Sanders hoped to win.

“Thank you to everyone in D.C. who went out to vote and thank you all for your support!” tweeted the Vermont senator last night.

According to both the Associated Press and CNN, Sanders and Clinton both met privately at the Capital Hilton in Washington last night. The exact nature of the conversation is not known.

“Sen. Sanders and Secretary Clinton met in Washington on Tuesday evening and had a positive discussion about how best to bring more people into the political process and about the dangerous threat that Donald Trump poses to our nation,” wrote Michael Briggs, Sanders’ spokesman, in a statement.

A Clinton adviser told CNN that the meeting was “very positive”.

But it came as no surprise that the two Democratic challengers would meet. In a press release from Sanders’ camp on Sunday, it stated that on ABC’s “This Week” the two would meet on Tuesday. In the press release, it stated that Sanders planned to speak to Clinton if she would be willing to help working families and stand up to “Wall Street and big money interests.”

Right now, it is not known if Sanders will bow out of the race or continue on to Philadelphia, where the Democratic National Convention is being held this summer.

“Then we are going to take the fight for social, economic and racial justice to Philadelphia,” he told the 3,300 people packed inside an airplane hangar. “We will continue to fight for every vote and every delegate,” Sanders said last Tuesday.
