As he debated Hillary Clinton in Flint, Michigan, Bernie Sanders was declared the winner of the Maine caucuses on Sunday.
Sanders is on pace to win 14 delegates compared to Clinton's six delegates, according to the Associated Press. However, Sunday's votes will not make a significant impact on Clinton's substantial lead toward the Democratic nomination.
Despite trailing Clinton by more than 200 delegates as of Sunday morning, the Vermont senator said that his campaign is on the path to making history.
“I thank the people of Maine for their strong support. With another double-digit victory, we have now won by wide margins in states from New England to the Rocky Mountains and from the Midwest to the Great Plains,” Sanders said in a statement. “The pundits might not like it but the people are making history. We now have the momentum to go all the way to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.”
So far, Sanders has won eight states in the race to the Democratic nomination.
