Harris holds the largest lead in the wide field of candidates with 32 percent of the vote while Sanchez sits at 18 percent. A quarter think he should drop out in June if he still running behind after the final primary contest, and only 16 percent think he should drop out of the race now. He said the Ben and Jerry event drew several thousand people Monday, and he expects Sanders to make several trips to New Jersey once IN votes.

Mark Dayton; and in Washington state, Sens. Of Trump’s 1,002 delegates, 957 of them are pledged votes while 45 are those of superdelegates, who are elected officials of their respective parties who can vote however they want, regardless of state primary results, and can also change their votes at any time at or before the nominating convention.
