WASHINGTON,United States (AFP) — Here is a list of the US states and territories won by each of the five remaining Republican and Democratic presidential candidates in the 2016 White House nominating contests held since February 1:
DEMOCRATIC PARTY
Forty-three contests have been held to date, including in Pennsylvania and the four other primaries on Tuesday.
A total of 2,383 delegates are needed to secure the party’s presidential nomination, including the so-called “super-delegates,” who have the right to vote for whomever they choose at the nominating convention in July.
Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton has a commanding advantage over Senator Bernie Sanders on the super-delegate front.
