Hillary Clinton suffered a decisive defeat to Sen. Bernie Sanders among American Democrats living abroad, the Democratic National Committee announced Monday. Clinton lost by a two-to-one margin, with only 31 percent to Sanders' 69 percent. There were 13 delegates up for grabs, nine of which will go to Sanders and four that will go to Clinton.

However, Clinton did cinch three of the group's eight superdelegates, while only one committed to Sanders. Four Democrats Abroad superdelegates remain uncommitted.
