Clinton quietly wins Neb. primary, but gets no delegates from it

Hillary Clinton won Nebraska’s primary on Tuesday, but her victory there won’t earn her any delegates.

Tuesday’s primary was a symbolic, non-binding vote. Nebraska’s 25 delegates were allocated in March after Democrats in the state held their caucuses, which Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders won. Of those 25 pledged delegates, Sanders collected 15 delegates, while Clinton was awarded 10 delegates.

Sanders was also victorious in West Virginia on Tuesday, where he could earn up to 29 delegates. His win in the Mountain State followed his victory in Indiana last week. He has won primaries and caucuses in 19 states.

However, Sanders’ recent gains do little to catch him up for the former secretary of state. According to the latest tally, Clinton leads with 2,239 delegates to Sanders’ 1,469 delegates. She is 144 delegates shy of clinching the nomination.
