McGovern Gains Delegates in California Primary Lead
Senator George McGovern piled up delegates with a big California win and broad gains across 16 primaries totaling about 907 delegates, while Humphrey and Wallace trail in popular votes. Republicans show Nixon securing the nomination with 854 delegates as McCloskey wins a lone GOP delegate in New Mexico. A separate Oklahoma prison escape ends with three convicts on the run after overpowering guards.
