Bernie Sanders netted nearly three dozen delegates Saturday after his win in Hawaii, having swept three states. It’s a solid showing, but it didn’t significantly impact Hillary Clinton’s overall big lead.
Sanders needs to win 67 percent of the remaining delegates and uncommitted superdelegates through June to be able to clinch the Democratic nomination. So far he’s only winning 37 percent.
With 25 Hawaii delegates at stake, Sanders picked up 17. Clinton gained eight. That means on Saturday, Sanders won a total of 55 delegates, having also won Washington state and Alaska. Clinton picked up 20.
