Sanders Hopes To Overtake Clinton In Nevada Democratic Caucuses

Clinton also touted the “vast majority” of donors who gave her less than $100, as Sanders has railed the former secretary of state for inheriting President Barack Obama’s super PAC, while fueling his own campaign on donations that average $27.

Even though Clinton clinched the vote by a comfortable margin, NBC exit poll data indicated she had actually lost the vote of the state’s key demographic of Latino voters.

Mrs Clinton had been far ahead in the polls until recently, when Mr Sanders became better known here and struck fear into the Clinton campaign that he might prevail in Nevada and deal her a serious setback.

Lack of support from African-American voters will be a concern for Sanders heading into next Saturday’s SC primary where black voters make a up a large percentage of the Democratic electorate.

Capital Public Radio’s Capitol Bureau Chief Ben Adler, who is in the Silver State to cover today’s events, reports that turnout will be an important factor in what could be a close race between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton.

“The truth is, we aren’t a single issue country”.

Clinton Sunday admitted she must prove her trustworthiness to voters.

Despite her victory, the closeness of the race in the Nevada primary marks a significant step for the Sanders campaign.

However, Jamie Harrison, Chairmain of the South Carolina Democratic Party, says it won’t be such an easy win. And I do want to mention that he has acknowledged the Clinton victory. “So I think people are responding to our message of a rigged economy where ordinary Americans work longer hours for lower wages and nearly all new income goes to the top one percent”. I’ve never believed in dividing America between “us” and ‘them.’ We are all in this together.

Asked if she has a problem she needs to address among Latino voters because entrance polls show her losing them to Sanders 53%-45%, Clinton said the actual voting tallies paint a different picture. “And we probably will leave Nevada with a solid share of the delegates”, Sanders said. Bernie Sanders had captured a small lead over Clinton however other polls have been unable to replicate the same results. Sanders beat her in New Hampshire.

Clinton still has strong support among older Hispanic voters-a divide that was highlighted when Sanders supporters reportedly interrupted efforts by civil-rights leader Dolores Huerta, to provide Spanish translation at a rally at Harrahs casino.
