Bernie Sanders wins the Nevada Caucus. |
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) wins the Nevada caucus. The junk food media projected the Vermont senator won the state with 55% of the vote. Coming in a distant second was Joe Biden who managed to take 16% of the vote and Pete Buttigieg taking third with 14% of the vote.
Sanders managed to win over young and Latino voters. It was a strong showing for a caucus.
His rival Michael Bloomberg ignored Nevada to focus on winning states that Democrats are overlooking right now. After a horrible performance at his first debate, Bloomberg is regrouping and preparing for the second debate in which he hopefully will take on Sanders.
Who took the biggest hit was Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).
Coming in fourth place isn't a win. Even though she took Bloomberg on and forced him to release women from non-disclosure agreements, the Massachusetts senator did not fare well in Nevada.
Her campaign is likely coming to an end soon. We have to see how this plays out. Cause it looks like Warren, Tom Steyer and Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) are done.
Despite Russian influence, Sanders and Donald J. Trump won the Nevada caucuses.
The two are extremely polarizing figures in American politics.
Sanders who earlier said that he's taking on the Republican and Democratic establishment might have a strong lead and it may be nearly impossible for rivals to possibly catch up to him.
Sanders performed well with the African American vote in Nevada. That means he's going into South Carolina as a strong challenge to Biden's firewall.
