welcome back. here is a look at the current delegate count. hillary clinton leads bernie sanders by less than 700 delegates. on the republican side, donald trump leads ted cruz by less than 200 delegates. nbc's rtracie potts is live on capitol hill. how can bernie sanders win new york at this point, although it does seem like he's catching up a bit? >> reporter: and they have 291 delegates at stake in this primary. so if he's able to win a significant number of those delegates and catch up in the pledged delegate count, his game plan is to try to convince those unpledged delegate, many of whom are backing hillary clinton to now back him and his latest issue has been money and how much money has been spent on this campaign. now we have the backing of george clooney saying that an obscene amount of money that the candidates are spending trying to win this office. >> and let's now turn to the republicans.

today this maryland. does this mean he is by passing new york and given up on trying to even beat donald trump in new york? >> reporter: it's a serious uphill battle for ted cruz in new york. he's third in all the major polling. and so while he may not be giving up, he could pick up a couple of delegates here and there. he certainly is not in a competitive position right now. and so he's looking down the road. april could be tough for him because so many northeast primaries are favoring donald trump. so he's trying to look beyond april to see later in the month or in may and june where he may be able to pick up some. of course donald trump is still arguing that he's playing the game, picking up delegates in area where is they're appointed by party bosses and not voted in at the ballots. >> all right. tracie potts live for us. thank you. a man is dead, another this critical condition after a double shooting in prince george's county. this happened around 3:00 in the
