Key Quotes

“While recent comments from Trump have dented his momentum and ripped the Republican race wide open (raising the chances of a contested national convention in July), the Democratic race seems more clear cut. Despite Sanders’ recent winning streak, Clinton now has 1,274 pledged delegates to Sanders’ 1,025. When including super-delegates, party officials and leaders who can back any candidate, Clinton’s lead is 1,743 to Sanders’ 1,056 with 2,383 needed for the nomination.”
