It takes 2,383 delegates to win the Democratic nomination. Despite Sanders’ gains Clinton is still leading the Democratic race with at least 1,129 delegates to Sanders’ 498. However, most of Clinton’s edge is due to superdelegates – members of Congress, governors and senior party officials – who support the candidate of their choice and can potentially switch camps.
