Clinton poised to win even before California

Front-runner has 502 superdeleg­ates, while Sanders has 38

-

With her New York win, Hillary Clinton’s support among superdeleg­ates puts her on a solid track to clinch the Democratic nomination outright before the national convention — even before results are known from the California primary, which Bernie Sanders was counting on winning to stand a chance.

Clinton added 33 new endorsemen­ts from superdeleg­ates over the past month, according to a new survey, expanding her already overwhelmi­ng support among the party officials who can back any candidate they choose.

Sanders picked up just seven endorsemen­ts. Based on primaries and caucuses alone, the latest AP delegate count including New York shows that Clinton leads, 1,428 to 1,151. Including superdeleg­ates, the race stands at 1,930 to 1,189, for Clinton.

Looking at just superdeleg­ates, Clinton has 502, while Sanders has 38.
