US election 2016: how five months of primaries and caucuses have left us with Donald Trump v Hillary Clinton...........

Hillary Clinton won the Washington D.C. Democratic primary on Tuesday night, bringing to an end of one of the longest primary fights in American history.

It has been five months of unpredictable twists and turns within the Republican and Democratic parties that has ultimately resulted in a race for the White House between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

The two have seen off strong challenges, notably from Bernie Sanders (even though he has refused to concede) and Ted Cruz, whose campaigns both shined brightly at times during the spring.
