After the primaries on Tuesday in six states, including California that has the biggest number of delegates, Hillary Clinton is undoubtedly the Presidential nominee of Democratic party. It marks the end of road for Bernie Sanders, not because Hillary has secured the numbers of delegates required for an outright nomination but because of lack of a major win in the Tuesday primaries, Bernie is unable to challenge Clinton.
Results so far –
- Sanders won 13 delegates in North Dakota, while Clinton won 5
- Sanders is leading in Montana by 5 percent. The State has 21 delegates to offer.
- Clinton won New Jersey and has 73 delegates, while Bernie has 47. Six are yet to be allocated.
- Clinton secured 17 delegates in New Mexico and Sanders, 14. Three are yet to be allocated.
- In South Dakota, Clinton won 10 delegates, same as Sanders.
- In California, which has 475 delegates to offer, Clinton is leading by 22 percent, with a third of the vote counted.
In total delegate counts, Clinton is at 2,488 and Sanders at 1,653.
With just Washington primary remaining, ahead of the convention, it is more likely than ever that Clinton will be Democratic Presidential Nominee.
However, Bernie Sanders’ defiant fight to the end and his popularity has earned him respect and is very much likely that party establishment will include some of his ideas in the Presidential agenda.
