Hillary Clinton rolled her campaign through the Bay Area on Sunday even as a pair of island victories brought her to the brink of a landmark Democratic presidential nomination.

A Saturday win in the Virgin Islands left the former secretary of state needing 60 more delegates to secure the nomination over Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Her victory Sunday in Puerto Rico — which has, conveniently, exactly 60 delegates — is expected to leave her just short of the number she needs for a first-ballot nomination.

That’s not the way Sanders sees it. He argued Sunday that Clinton can’t count the 547 officially unpledged superdelegates who have vowed to support her.

“It is extremely unlikely that Secretary Clinton will have the requisite number of pledged delegates to claim victory on Tuesday night,” after the primaries in California and New Jersey, Sanders said at a news conference in Los Angeles. “Now, I have heard reports that Secretary Clinton has said it’s all going to be over on Tuesday night. I have reports that the media, after the New Jersey results come in, are going to declare that it is all over. That simply is not accurate.”

But Clinton, who would become the country’s first female presidential candidate from a major party, continued to state that Tuesday’s primaries will be more than enough to push her over the top.

“After Tuesday, I’m going to do everything I can to reach out, to try to unify the Democratic Party, and I expect Sen. Sanders to do the same,” Clinton said in an interview interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Vision of leadership

On Sunday morning, Clinton took a break from her desperate, all-out sprint toward Tuesday’s California presidential primary for a low-key stop at a black church in Oakland.

Gone were the rancorous, cutting attacks she’s made on Donald Trump, the likely GOP nominee, in recent days, or the confident, almost cocky assertions that she’s already won the Democratic contest, regardless of what Sanders might think.

Instead, Clinton stopped at the morning services at Greater St. Paul Church to share her vision of a different sort of presidency.

“I want to wake up every morning to wonder what I can do each day to make sure every child can live up to his or her potential,” she told the hundreds of churchgoers packed into the sanctuary. “To some, that doesn’t sound like an issue a president should be focused on, but it’s what I’m focused on.”

Bay Area connections

To shouts of “Amen!” and “I hear you!” Clinton focused on the link between politics and religion. That connection shouldn’t come as a surprise to this congregation, Clinton said, noting that the church’s pastor, Bishop Joseph Simmons, had worked on the campaign for her husband, then-President Bill Clinton, in the ’90s before becoming a minister.

“You shouldn’t be confused,” Clinton said. “Endeavoring to lift up people ... is as true in public service as it is in service to God.”

Standing at the transparent pulpit, with spring flowers beside her and two dozen robed choir members behind her, Clinton spoke of her own church experiences.

“I learned a lot in Sunday school,” she said. “My mother decided she had to teach Sunday school to make sure my brothers showed up.”

Clinton continued her religious theme on a more serious note, talking in a quiet voice about how the young man who shot and killed nine people in a church in Charleston, S.C., last year was able to purchase the gun only because of a loophole in the weapons law she wants to close.

The young white man entered the historically black Emanuel AME Church during Bible study. The people didn’t recognize the newcomer, Clinton said, but “remembered Matthew 25, ‘Welcome the stranger.’”

The man sat for an hour, she said, then “he not only broke the law, he defied God.”

Clinton later strayed from religion and more somber topics to a lighter, more personal conversation. And she tossed in the Golden State Warriors, too, arguing that their Game 1 NBA Finals victory Thursday showed the value of teamwork.

“We know some people have different talents than others, but we also know that we do better work when we all pull together,” she said.

Fond Bay Area memories

Warning that she might be supplying “too much information,” Clinton talked about the time she and her future husband spent together in the Bay Area when she was interning at an Oakland law firm in the summer of 1971.

The two had just started dating when Bill Clinton came to visit her on the West Coast, she said.

“We had the best time wandering around Berkeley, wandering around Oakland, wandering around San Francisco,” Clinton told the Oakland congregation. “I have a lot of great memories about how we started, so I have a stake in how you do here.”

After the church stop, it was back to politics as usual for Clinton, who also had a community meeting in Vallejo and a Sacramento rally on her Sunday calendar.

In Vallejo, she spoke to about 30 educators, city officials and community members jammed into downtown’s Good Day Cafe.

“It’s important for me to hear from people directly about the challenges their communities are facing,” Clinton said. If she becomes president, she said, she wants to hear what’s going on in cities and town across the country, because “the best work is often going on out there.”

The discussion included questions about education, school discipline, mental health and gentrification — subjects that haven’t been featured during the primary season.

“Everything we touched on is about children and their future,” Clinton said.

Multiple polls show Clinton and Sanders locked in a virtual dead heat in California. The two Democratic candidates spent the weekend crisscrossing the state, working desperately to bring their supporters to the polls on Tuesday.

Sanders’ events

For Sanders, that meant a series of concerts in three of California’s largest cities, including one at San Francisco’s Crissy Field on Monday. Each event was designed to attract young and no-party-preference voters and persuade them to cast ballots.

Bill Clinton will be in the Bay Area on Monday for campaign events in Oakland, Antioch, Hayward, Richmond and San Francisco.
