that Joe and Bernie are the only candidates to reach the 15% threshold in all of California's 53 congressional districts. That means they will not only share the 144 delegates in California that are apportioned statewide, they will share all the remaining delegates that are apportioned by congressional district. The candidate with the most votes in each district will, of course, get the most delegates from that particular district. I believe Bernie will not be walking away with nearly as many delegates as he hoped for.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
