Pennsylvania, Maryland, Connecticut, Rhode Island and DE are on deck for next week – and the campaigns will be studying the results in New York’s moderate suburbs and elsewhere to see if there are similar areas where more delegates could be picked off in the contests to come. “So what the mission was before it looked like we were going to have this potentially contested convention was to make sure the people in our party day in and day out, they are the people representing the party when it comes to go to the convention”.

Clinton, the state’s former senator, sought to establish a beachhead in Brooklyn by making it home to her national campaign headquarters. “Just seeing a lot of old friends, meeting new people”, she said. There are also 44 unpledged or “superdelegates” in NY. Clinton nodded excitedly after the comment was translated by another worker.
