Sanders can't win with pledged delegates, but could block Clinton.
It is mathematically impossible for Bernie Sanders to win enough delegates in the remaining Democratic contests to secure the nomination, but his aides see a path through a convention battle in Philadelphia that would target the party's superdelegates.
The Democratic nominee must win 2,383 delegates to secure the nomination, but with only 933 delegates up for grabs in the remaining contests, it is impossible for Sanders to get there just by winning contests against front-runner Hillary Clinton. The Vermont senator has racked up 1,444 delegates, according to the latest CNN delegate tally, but would need to win more than 100% of the remaining delegates.
Asked about this hurdle Wednesday, Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver dismissed it.
"The truth is, no one is going to the convention with the requisite number of pledged delegates to win. The superdelegates are going to decide this race," Weaver said on CNN's "New Day."
Trump now open to raising minimum wage.
Kasich 'doing the right thing' by dropping out, Trump says.
Donald Trump on Wednesday said John Kasich is "doing the right thing" by dropping out of the presidential race, adding that he is interested in vetting the Ohio governor as a potential running mate.
"That's good. That's good. You're just telling me that for the first time," Trump said when CNN's Wolf Blitzer relayed the news of Kasich's decision, which CNN confirmed during the interview.
"I think John is doing the right thing," Trump added.
Trump's remarks came in a wide-ranging interview at Trump Tower the day after he notched a crushing victory in the Indiana GOP primary, flattening the final roadblock in his meteoric 10-month rise from celebrity candidate to presumptive Republican nominee.
