Bernie Sanders has flipped a grand total of zero superdelegates so far [View all]

By Chris Cillizza June 7

Here's a telling exchange between MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell and Jeff Weaver, manager of Bernie Sanders's campaign, on Tuesday afternoon:

Mitchell: "Have you flipped any superdelegates yet?

Weaver: "No."

The entirety of Sanders's remaining chances in this race — such as they are — rest on persuading large numbers of superdelegates to switch from supporting Hillary Clinton to supporting him. Without such a broad-scale switcheroo, Sanders loses. Because of math.

This is that math. Clinton has 1,812 pledged delegates and 572 superdelegates, according to NBC's calculations. Add it up and you get 2,383 — a simple majority of all available delegates. Hence, the race is over.
