Vice president Al Gore won the primary with almost 57% of the vote and 13 delegates, while senator Bill Bradley won only roughly 40% of the vote and secured 9 delegates. The remaining 3% went to one other candidate, Lyndon LaRouche Jr., write-in votes and an uncommitted option. Gore did not cross the necessary majority of 2,171 delegates to officially win the Democratic nomination after Super Tuesday, but Bradley would withdraw three days later, leaving Gore as the presumptive nominee.
