Bernie Sanders has won two states: North Dakota and Montana.
Clinton technically clinched the Democratic nomination Monday night, according to the Associated Press. The presidential primaries don’t wrap up until next week, when the District of Columbia votes. And congressional primaries continue throughout the summer.
Still, this is the last Super Tuesday until the most super Tuesday of all, the general election. Here’s where things stand so far.
New Jersey: Clinton wins
Delegates at stake: 126 Democratic delegates, 51 Republican delegates
California: Polls close 8 pm Pacific (11 pm Eastern)
Delegates at stake: 475 Democratic delegates, 172 Republican delegates
The polls predict: Clinton held a strong lead in California all year, but in the past week Sanders has been closing in. A Sanders victory is highly unlikely to change the course of the presidential race, which the AP reported Monday night that Clinton had already clinched, but it would be an upset given Clinton’s strength among nonwhite voters. The RealClearPolitics polling average currently has Clinton leading by 2 points.
Montana: Sanders wins
Delegates at stake: 21 Democratic delegates, 27 Republican delegates
New Mexico: Clinton wins
Delegates at stake: 34 Democratic delegates, 24 Republican delegates
North Dakota: Sanders wins
Only Democrats are caucusing in North Dakota today.
Delegates at stake: 12
South Dakota: Clinton wins
Delegates at stake: 20 Democratic delegates, 29 Republican delegates
Watch: Bernie Sanders will continue his campaign
