Clinton on track to capture Democratic nomination
- 8 years ago
Hillary Clinton can lose every remaining primary in the coming weeks and still clinch the nomination.
With Clinton’s double-digit win in New York and more than two dozen new superdelegates joining her camp, rival Bernie Sanders now faces a far steeper path.
Including superdelegates, the race stands at 1,930 to 1,189, for Clinton.
She needs just 27 percent of the remaining delegates and uncommitted superdelegates to reach the magic number, 2,383.
Clinton is moving quickly to cast herself as the all-but-certain nominee.
“The race for the Democratic nomination is in the home stretch, and victory is in sight,” she told supporters at her victory party in Manhattan on Tuesday night.
