So how close is a candidate to clinching the nomination . There are 2472 delegates available and 1237 needed to clinch. 595 delegates will be awarded to republicans on super tuesday, so no one can secure the nomination tonight. On to the democrats. As of today, clinton has won 90 delegates to sanders 65. Thats out of total of 4763 democratic delegates, and 2382 are needed to clinch the nomination. Today, 862 delegates will be awarded. Now, there is one more wrinkle on the democratic side, and thats super delegates. These are insiders who get to vote however they want at the Democratic National convention. So far, Hillary Clinton expects 455 superdelegates, bringing her total to 545, and sanders has just 22 super delegates, brining his total to 87 total delegates. Still neither democrat will secure their nomination on super tuesday. Now, after the dust settles tonight, its on to more primaries this saturday. Democratic primaries in kansas, louisianna, and nebraska, and republcian primaries in kansas, kentucky, louisianna and maine.
