Donald
Trump, the only Republican candidate remaining in the race for the
White House, won the primaries in the US state of West Virginia and
Nebraska. This appears Tuesday (local time) from exit polls of different
media. When the Democrats Bernie Sanders wins in West Virginia, the
only state which occurred Democratic primaries. He makes so its top in
West Virginia, a state that is heavily dependent on the mining industry.
Sanders rival Hillary Clinton, who convincingly won the primaries in West Virginia, had put bad blood in March 2008 by suggesting that many coal mines and companies will go bankrupt by the transition to green energy.
Clinton apologized afterwards for the ruling, but has already to no avail in West Virginia. The city of Logan in West Viriginia even refused to receive a campaign rally Clinton. "Bill and Hillary Clinton are simply not welcome in our city," said the authorities according to Politico. "Clinton's statements against coal are the last thing our city, which has been difficult, need." According to CBS New voted 63 percent of the miners' families for Sanders, versus 30 percent for Clinton.
Yet Clinton continues to lead the Democrats. She collected so far 1,715 delegates to 1,428 for Sanders. However, it is expected that the vast majority of Clinton collects the "super delegates". These are mostly elected officials and party members. According Realclearpolitics.com Clinton has 523 superdelegates behind her name. Sanders has 39, but hopes by booking victories in the next primaries to convince the superdelegates who are at Clinton's side, to choose him. For the Convention in July, a candidate needs 2,383 delegates in total.
When Republicans were Ted Cruz and John Kasich, who recently threw in the towel in the race, still on the ballots, which could cause protests in West Virigina and Nebraska. Yet Trump wins according to preliminary results convincing, and he comes as a step closer to the 1,237 delegates he needs to be declared the Republican nominee at the convention in July.
