House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) was interviewed by Luke Russert on Tuesday and said that nothing changes in the Democratic primary process if Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) wins in California.
"What happens if she [Clinton] doesn't win California?" Russert asked.
"Nothing. She will. California has what, 475 delegates tonight? She will get nearly half of them one way or another," Pelosi said. "It would be great, though, psychologically, and everybody is working very hard for her to win California, and so are the Sanders people and I commend them and I thank them and I congratulate them for the intellectual resource they have been to the party, for the enthusiasm they have brought, for the invigoration."
Clinton is currently considered to be the presumptive nominee for the Democratic Party as she has enough pledged delegates and superdelegates to reach the magic number of 2,383. However, superdelegates are not locked in until the convention and could change sides and support Sanders. Clinton is now working on obtaining more delegates to make it virtually impossible for Sanders to compete.
Six states, including California, have their Democratic primaries on Tuesday. Most polls show Clinton with a very narrow lead in California over Sanders.
