Seven states hold Democratic contests next Tuesday, wrapping up this long primary season, and Bernie Sanders is still in the race. "What gives?" asked MSNBC's Jacob Soboroff. "Why, on the eve of one of the last presidential nominating contests, is the race still going, if it's out of reach" for Sanders? He answered his own questions: "Well, technically, it's not. Sanders is behind in the delegate count, but there's still a chance." If you are a Sanders fan, don't get your hopes up too high — it is a very small chance, and it involves unlikely events. But yes, Sanders could technically still win this. To find out why — or to have some of your questions about delegates and superdelegates answered — watch below. Peter Weber
