Overall, Biden has 1,228 delegates and Sanders has 918, according to the count by The Associated Press. Sanders suspended his campaign this week but said he would keep his name on the ballot in states that haven’t yet voted. The Alaska primary originally was scheduled for April 4, but concerns with the coronavirus upended plans. The primary itself was new to Alaska Democrats, who moved from their traditional caucuses to a primary for this year’s race in a move Steinau said was aimed at increasing participation.
