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.
