Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders picked up 49 of 67 delegates divided up by Washington, according to district-level data released Saturday to The Associated Press. The Vermont senator adds that to the 25 of 34 delegates he picked up with his March caucus win in the state.
Even with that haul, Sanders trails far behind frontrunner Hillary Clinton, who has about 94 percent of the delegates needed to win the nomination. Sanders has vowed to stay in the race through the Democratic National Convention in July.
