Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., won the Democratic primary in California, the state with the largest amount of Super Tuesday delegates, several news outlets reported Thursday.

With 88% of the vote in, Sanders leads with 34.3% of the vote. Former vice president Joe Biden is in second place with 27.6%, NBC News reported.

CNN and Vox also called the victory for Sanders.

California has 415 delegates at stake. 

Sanders picked up 202 delegates from the state to Biden's 148, NBC News reported.

Despite winning the night's biggest prize, Sanders did not end Super Tuesday with the most delegates; overall, Biden is leading the two-man field with 848 delegates. Sanders has 695, according to NBC News.
