Bernie Sanders Declared Winner Of Oregon Primary

The Hill reports:



Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is projected to win the Oregon primary, keeping his slim presidential hopes alive. Sanders will win the majority of the state’s 61 pledged delegates, cutting slightly into Hillary Clinton’s lead.

He still needs to win about two-thirds of the remaining unpledged delegates up for grabs between now and the last contest in the District of Columbia on June 14. Clinton entered Tuesday with 1,716 pledged delegates, to Sanders’s 1,433.

And even if Sanders catches Clinton in unpledged delegates, he would still need to convince scores of superdelegates to abandon Clinton at the national convention.
