Delegate Math Just Got Much Tougher for Sanders

Aaron Blake: “Perhaps this math puts it into perspective. At the start of the night, Biden needed 49% of remaining delegates to win the nomination outright, while Sanders needed 55%. As of this posting, Biden needs 46% of the remaining delegates, while Sanders needs 61%.”

“In other words, the delegate math just got a lot tougher. We knew it would get tougher because these aren’t Sanders states, but Biden registered the kind of margins he needs to begin putting this race out of reach.”
