Clinton got just as many delegates as Bernie Sanders from
New Hampshire even after crushing defeat in Tuesday’s presidential primary. Clinton
won 9 delegates in the NH primary but entered the race with the support of 6
super-delegates. Therefore, she got a total of 15 delegates including 6
superdelgates. While, Sanders had won 15 delegates including 2 superdelegates on
Tuesday’s NH primary.
Superdelegates are partly officials who have the freedom to
support any candidate they choose. Superdelegates also have the freedom to
switch side at a later time. So, some of those delegates who are now supporting
Clinton could switch to Sanders before the Democratic National Convention in
late July.
From the start the 2016 nomination race, the Clinton
campaign has been putting aggressive efforts to secure about 360 superdelegates
across the country which are surely to be intensified after her NH defeat.
While Sanders has gathered a total of 8 superdelegates.
