Bernie Sanders will win California, CNN projects

[Uncle Joe]

Washington (CNN)Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders will win California's Democratic primary, CNN projects, after holding a lead in the state since Election Night.

(snip)

CNN's delegate estimate in the state currently shows Sanders winning 184 delegates to Biden's 144, with 81 delegates left to be allocated. Six delegates in the state thus far have been estimated to go to candidates who have already dropped out of the race: Elizabeth Warren (five) and Michael Bloomberg (one).

The projection comes more than a week after the state's primary because ballots that were mailed in were still being counted. California counts all ballots postmarked by Election Day, extending the time it takes to report results.

Sanders on Wednesday said he would remain in the presidential race on after a series of defeats that have significantly narrowed his path to getting enough delegates to win the nomination.
