CNN projects Hillary Clinton will win Nevada caucuses

“I am so, so thrilled and so grateful to all of my supporters out there”, Clinton said during her victory speech.

In a statement, Sanders said that he had spoken to Clinton to congratulate her on her win.

A poll conducted by voters in Saturday’s primary showed that being an instrument of change and electability in November are also important qualities.

Bernie Sanders ran strongly in the state’s caucuses, losing to Clinton 52.1 percent to 47.8 percent with 82 percent of precincts reporting, Clinton’s win shows that Sanders’ double-digit victory in New Hampshire didn’t necessarily represent a massive, permanent shift to the challenger.

The Clinton campaign is also clearly looking at caucus states beyond Nevada, dispatching Bill Clinton to speak to voters in the upcoming contest of Colorado even as the post-caucus celebrations got underway in Nevada on Saturday evening. Then she looks supremely poised ahead of “Super Tuesday”, on March 1.

“I think (Sanders is) going a lot harder on the banks is mainly why I like him”, said Justice Gonda, a UNR student.

“I need your help this morning”, she said to an audience of casino employees earlier on Saturday.

Trump’s performance could unnerve the Republican establishment, since SC has sided with the eventual nominee in every GOP presidential race since 1980, apart from 2012.

With 35 at stake, she will gain at least 18. About three-quarters support a temporary ban on Muslims who are not American citizens from entering the country, and those voters were most likely to support Trump.

In what appeared to be a jab at Mr Trump, whom Bush has accused of lacking ideas, the former Florida Governor said, “ideas matter, policy matters”.

Clinton spent much of the run-up to the Nevada caucuses portraying Sanders as singularly focused on economic issues.

“I told ya!” said Michael Airington, 57, a Clinton supporter.

The upcoming states are significantly more diverse than Iowa and New Hampshire, and Clinton focused on voting rights and immigration.

Exit polls indicated that she attracted support from women, older voters, blacks and a major boost from loyalists for incumbent President Barack Obama, according to the report.

While Democrat Hillary Clinton survived another close call, Trump easily took care of the SC primary.
