Washington (AP) — Hillary Clinton netted a dozen more delegates than Bernie Sanders after a big win Tuesday in the District of Columbia.
For the evening, she picked up 16 delegates to Sanders' four.
That means she finished the Democratic presidential primary season with a lead of 387 pledged delegates over Sanders.
Based on just the primaries and caucuses, Clinton has 2,219 pledged delegates to Sanders' 1,832.
When including superdelegates, or party officials who can back any candidate, Clinton holds a wider lead — 2,800 to 1,881.
It takes 2,383 to win, a number Clinton reached last week to become the presumptive nominee.
