It’s the Presidential race.
Hillary Clinton is the presumptive nominee for the Democratic Party. Her opponent, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is running as an independent candidate to try to force the election to a brokered convention.
Hillary Clinton vs. Bernie Sanders
While Clinton has the vast lead in delegates, Sanders has amassed most of the support of superdelegates, party insiders who are not bound by primaries and caucuses to support any candidates. Although they are not in a position to change their votes on the convention floor, they have an outsized influence in the party.
How many delegates is the Democratic Party getting from Sanders?
The Sanders campaign says they have 489 pledged delegates, which is more than the entire 2012 Republican Party. According to the delegate-tracking site FiveThirtyEight, Bernie Sanders could possibly get an additional 545 or 675 delegates should the convention be contested.
Does Sanders need to win more than 60 percent of the remaining pledged delegates to win?
Sanders already has 3.4 million votes, about 55 percent of the total, compared with Clinton’s 3.2 million. But if he wins nearly the entirety of pledged delegates – as is possible given his impressive ground game – he would be in a strong position even in a contested convention.
How many superdelegates are Sanders counting on?
About 1,600 are Clinton insiders and about 750 are self-declared “superdelegates” whom Sanders said were still to be elected. In July, several of them said they would support Clinton until the very end. A superdelegate can change their mind when the convention is over.
Do superdelegates affect the outcome of the nomination?
Not to the extent that people believe. For example, one independent superdelegate who is backing Sanders told CNN she is still undecided because “I do not support either candidate.” Another told The Hill in July that she has no plans until the end of the convention to vote for either candidate.
Is Sanders vulnerable in the South/West?
His supporters have been focusing on states like Nevada, Indiana, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Massachusetts and Washington, which Trump has won. Most polls have Clinton leading among states that voted before the first primary or caucus.
Can Sanders win enough superdelegates to stop Clinton from grabbing all the delegates and win the nomination?
If Sanders can pull the last 2,383 out of the Democratic Party and prevent her
