Clinton wins Mississippi Democratic presidential primary

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Clinton wins the Democratic presidential primary in Mississippi, riding a continuing wave of support from black voters in Southern states to claim victory over Bernie Sanders.

Clinton is adding to her big delegate lead after the win.

With 36 delegates at stake, she is assured of picking up at least 21.

Entering today's contests, she had a 196-delegate lead over Sanders based on the results from primaries and caucuses. Still, Sanders is counting on winning several upcoming states in a bid to recapture momentum.

Also voting on today were voters in Michigan, with 130 delegates up for grabs.

Clinton's lead is even bigger when including superdelegates, the party leaders who can support any candidate they wish. She now has at least 1,155. Sanders has at least 502. It takes 2,383 to win.

Democrats living abroad also were submitting ballots by mail in their primary, with 13 delegates at stake. Their results will be released later this month.
