How the Rest of the Democratic Delegate Race Could Unfold [View all]

If all superdelegates vote for the candidate with the most pledged delegates, Mrs. Clinton will get to 2,383 delgates.

1,705 delegates earned

511 projected

714 super delegates


Sanders

1,413 delegates earned

422 projected

2,383 super delegates needed


At a news conference this week, Mr. Sanders stated that he and Mrs. Clinton are headed to a “contested” convention since she cannot reach a majority of the delegates with pledged delegates alone. He urged superdelegates in states that he has won to vote for him.


Even if all superdelegates go to the winner of their state — as Mr. Sanders proposes — he still won’t earn enough delegates.
