Clinton wins Nevada caucuses
Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are in a dead heat to win the Nevada caucuses, and both campaigns have launched last-minute efforts to win over voters – including Latino voters.
Las Vegas (CNN)Polls heading into the Nevada Democratic caucuses showed the two contenders neck-and-neck, so Hillary Clinton can thank the late deciders – people who made up their minds in the least few days – for the victory.
Throughout the race, Clinton has refused to concede any connection between her trust deficit and her use of a private email server as secretary of state; she has said repeatedly that voters don’t care about the issue, even as the FBI conducts an investigation into the security of her practice.
“She is the person with leadership skills that we need in the White House”, said Clinton supporter Emma Goodacer.
Next Saturday, Democratic voters will choose their nominee during a contest in SC.
Many fans talked about her fight for women’s rights, but said her gender alone is not the reason to back her. He didn’t just have momentum-he was putting money and people into Nevada, the third state on the Democratic nominating calendar after Iowa and New Hampshire, and expanding his outreach to Latino voters.
The reality is always a bit less glamorous – and makes us looks a little less smart.
As it stands, Clinton has 502 delegates to Sanders’ 70. He said her appeal to different demographics in the USA will help Clinton’s campaign. She says to Nevadans: “This one is for you”.
Clinton nearly crossed paths with Sanders at Harrah’s casino Saturday morning less than an hour before the caucuses began.
With 65 per cent of the precincts reporting, Clinton was leading with 52.2 per cent of the vote to Sanders’ 47.8 per cent. “So tonight I am suspending my campaign”, said Bush after finishing fourth in the South Carolina Primary. But almost a quarter went for Sanders, and Clinton won the overall minority vote only by a modest margin. Clinton won big among voters who valued electability and experience.
Television networks Fox News and MSNBC projected Clinton would win.
Clyburn’s endorsement comes as Clinton battles rival Bernie Sanders for the support of blacks in the SC contest on February 27, when more than half of the voters are likely to be black.
Entrance polls show Clinton netted 76 percent support of the black vote – a firewall for her in the next primary Saturday in SC.
I’ve come to realize that Clinton’s best traits as a candidate are her resilience and her perseverance.
