Alaska, Hawaii, and Washington held their Democratic caucuses on Saturday and, as expected, Bernie Sanders did very well. Sanders has done well in caucuses in this campaign. He dominated the caucuses in Alaska and Washington.
ALASKA
Clinton...............18.4%
Sanders...............81.6%
HAWAII
Clinton...............waiting for results
Sanders...............
WASHINGTON
Clinton...............27.2%
Sanders...............72.6%
Sanders picked up more delegates than Clinton did tonight, which means he did cut into her delegate lead -- but not enough. Here are the current delegate totals:
Clinton...............1703
Sanders...............985
That means Clinton has to get 680 more delegates to win the nomination. Sanders needs 1398 more delegates. Since there are 2,077 unallocated delegates, Clinton needs 32.7% of those unallocated delegates, while Sanders needs 67.3% of those delegates. Sanders has a Herculean task ahead of him -- especially considering Clinton is expected to do well in Wisconsin, New York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland (which are coming up soon).
