The odds of Sen. Bernie Sanders overtaking Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton in delegate support is becoming "increasingly remote," The New York Times reports.

With 2,383 delegates needed to win the Democratic nomination, Clinton now has 502 delegates compared to Sanders's 70.

And The Times says the former secretary of state will likely win big in the 11-state Super
Tuesday primaries on March 1 — particularly among black and Hispanic voters. Those primaries carry a whopping 880 delegates.

"She could effectively end the race in less than two weeks' time on Super Tuesday," David Wasserman, an analyst for The Cook Political Report, told the newspaper.

On Monday, Clinton received an endorsement from Matteo Renzi, the prime minister of Italy, who declared, "In all respect for the great American democracy, I'm rooting for Hillary Clinton."
