State of Play: Clinton’s Puerto Rico Victory

In the wake of her 36-point victory in Puerto Rico, presidential candidate Hillary Clinton continues to fight for the Democratic nomination. But it’s still a bleak situation for Clinton.

But does a glance at today’s headlines make this clear? Some papers headlines went championed Clinton’s victory, while others pointed to a nearing end for her campaign.
