Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee took aim at Donald Trump the moment he became the near-certain Republican nominee.
“Throughout this campaign, Donald Trump has demonstrated that he’s too divisive and lacks the temperament to lead our nation and the free world. With so much at stake, Donald Trump is simply too big of a risk,” Hillary for America chairman John Podesta said on Tuesday night.
Although two candidates remain in the Democratic primary, Clinton is leading Sanders by hundreds of delegates is already preparing to battle Trump in a general election.
The DNC also took its shots at Trump.
“Tonight, Donald Trump is the Republican Party,” DNC chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz said in a statement following Trump’s win in Indiana on Tuesday night. “Ted Cruz may have been the least-liked politician in Washington, but Trump is one of the least liked men in America, and Democrats will hold him accountable for his offensive rhetoric, dangerous ideas, and lack of judgment every single day between today and November 8th.”
