As of this moment, Biden has 1189 delegates, Sanders has 884....

Biden needs only 813 to reach 1991, Sanders needs 1,017.

Biden only needs 45% of the remaining delegates to get to 1,991, Sanders needs 57%.

For perspective, after 30 primaries/caucuses, Sanders has gotten 57% or more in only 4 - including Vermont. Biden has gotten 45% or more in 18.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:

Are not winner take all. In order to get that 57 % of delegates, he would need landslides where he shuts down Biden from making 15 % .
