Hillary Clinton Wins Nevada Caucus

Vox breaks it down:

Clinton has won the Nevada Democratic caucus. That’s something that was expected for months — but it was suddenly thrown into doubt in the last couple of weeks, as Bernie Sanders appeared to surge in Nevada after a lopsided victory in the New Hampshire primary.

Clinton’s victory sets her back on track before next week’s South Carolina primary, where she has a commanding lead in recent polls. And it validates the Clinton campaign’s theory of the race: that Sanders’s appeal might be strong in largely-white states, but that Clinton is the candidate of the Democrats’ nonwhite base.

UPDATE: From the Sanders campaign.



The final results are in from Nevada and it looks like we’re going to leave another state with roughly the same number of delegates as Hillary Clinton, maybe down just a few.

I want to be completely clear with you about what this result means: Nevada was supposed to be a state “tailor made” for the Clinton campaign, and a place she once led by almost 40 points. But today, we sent a message that will stun the political and financial establishment of this country: our campaign can win anywhere.

There are 26 primaries and caucuses in the next month, and three straight positive results for our campaign are sure to prompt an over-the-top response from the millionaires and billionaires who want to stop our campaign to transform America.
