Hillary Clinton will officially clinch the Democratic Party 2016 nomination for President on Tuesday June 7th when the polls close in New Jersey, whether she wins the state or not, based on proportional delegates — but she won’t be giving her victory speech there. She’ll also be looking to win the California primary later that night, but she won’t be speaking from the west coast either. Instead, Hillary has revealed an intriguing home base for the evening.
Clinton is bypassing the opportunity to speak in New Jersey on Tuesday night, even though she’s almost certain to win the state by a comfortable margin. She’s also leaving California out of the equation, because she’ll be giving her nomination victory speech before the polls even close there. Instead she’s chosen Brooklyn, where her national campaign headquarters has been housed from the start.

Hillary will be holding an official event at the Brooklyn Navy Yard from 6:00 to 10:00pm eastern time on Tuesday night, meaning that when the polls close in New Jersey and she officially becomes the democratic nominee, she’ll be celebrating just across the Hudson River and East River. It represents an opportunity to bring her campaign back to its starting point.

It also means she’ll be giving her nomination victory speech in what is essentially neutral voting ground that night, in a state she won handily six weeks ago, which just happens to come with the built in New York media market. At this point Hillary Clinton will enter June 7th needing somewhere between twenty-five and forty delegates to clinch the nomination, a formality at this point. The Brooklyn event is still accepting attendee signups.
