How did Hillary Clinton win Nevada?
She says to Nevadans: “This one is for you”. Before that, she won the Iowa caucuses by a razor-thin margin.
But he took a subtle hit at his rival Hillary Clinton, who he has repeatedly tied to Wall Street. The NBC News Entrance Poll indicates that Clinton came up short and received 45 percent of the Hispanic vote, while Sanders landed a 53 percent majority. There can be no doubt, however, that the Sanders campaign is making inroads into Hillary’s popularity with minority voters.
Numerous upcoming primaries will feature a much higher percentage of black voters than Nevada did.
Democrats held 250 caucuses around the state of Nevada to choose the 43 state delegates who will go to the party’s national convention to elect the party’s presidential candidate. That’s why Clinton is up by 25 percentage points in the SC polls.
Thirty-five delegates are up for grabs in Nevada.
Throughout the hectic evening for Clinton, she and her team remained as present as ever on Twitter where she sent out tweets of gratitude to her supporters. On the issue of student loans and younger voters, she stated that she meant to cut interest rates and cap payments on student loans so that recent grads “never have to pay more than they could afford”.
“Just weeks ago, the Clinton campaign was projecting a blowout, but they once again had to pull out all of the stops to avoid another loss”.
Seven in 10 women under 45 supported Sanders. With 81 percent of the precincts reporting, Clinton had a 52-48 lead over the Vermont senator. Clinton isn’t running away among Latinos.
The most unusual aspect of the state’s voting is perhaps that some of the caucus locations are in casino hotels on the Las Vegas strip, allowing workers in hotels to participate on lunch breaks. Still, Sanders is fighting an uphill battle given that many more March primaries have a large African-American electorate.
Unlike Iowa and New Hampshire, Nevada’s more diverse population had always been expected to give Clinton an edge over Sanders.
