The race for the Democratic nomination isn’t over yet.
Bernie Sanders won caucuses in Washington and Alaska by wide margins on Saturday to close the delegate lead against Hillary Clinton. Sanders captured 73 percent of the vote in Washington, which had 101 pledged delegates at stake, and 82 percent of the vote in Alaska, which had 16 pledged delegates.
Returns from Hawaii have not been reported. The Aloha State has 25 delegates in play.
The results were expected to favor Sanders and provide momentum for his campaign.
“We knew from Day 1 that we were going to have a politically hard time in the Deep South, which is the conservative part of our party,” Sanders said from a campaign rally in Madison, Wis., before the results were announced. “We also knew things were going to improve as we headed west.
“We are making major inroads into Secretary Clinton’s lead, and we have, with your support — coming to Wisconsin – we have a path toward victory.”
A candidate needs 2,383 delegates to win the nomination. Entering Saturday, Sanders had 985 delegates (956 pledged and 29 super) to Clinton’s 1,703 (1,234 pledged and 469 super), with 2,077 total delegates remaining.
The next primary is April 5 in Wisconsin, where 96 delegates, including 86 pledged, are up for grabs.
