SANTA FE — The final undecided Democratic superdelegate from New Mexico says he will back Hillary Clinton at the Democratic National Convention.
The Friday announcement by state Democratic Party Vice Chairman Juan Sanchez means all nine superdelegates from the state plan to support Clinton over Sen. Bernie Sanders for the presidential nomination. Superdelegates are party leaders who can vote for the candidate of their choice.
Clinton won the popular vote among Democrats in the New Mexico's June 7 primary and will receive 18 pledged delegates to Sanders' 16.
Although Clinton has secured enough pledged delegates and superdelegates to become the presumptive nominee, Sanders has not conceded the race. Sanders is pressing his "political revolution" to turn its attention to defeating Donald Trump and wants to work with Clinton to transform the Democratic Party.
