Campaign manager says Sanders team will work to flip superdelegates

After the New York Democratic primary was called for Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders' campaign manager said the race was far from over.

Jeff Weaver told MSNBC's Steve Kornacki that even if at the end of the primaries Clinton has won the delegates needed for the nomination and leads the popular vote, the Sanders camp will work before the Democratic National Convention to flip superdelegates to their side, Politico reports.

Superdelegates, he added, "are going to want to win in November. And if the polling continues to show that Bernie Sanders is a much stronger candidate in the general election," they'll switch to Team Sanders. The Associated Press delegate tracker has Clinton leading Sanders with 469 superdelegates to 31.
