Bernie Sanders wins Nevada, reports say. Vermont senator heads to South Carolina as the solid Democratic frontrunner.
entrance polling results that showed him with 53% of the vote with that demographic in the seven-person race.The entrance polls showed former Vice President Joe Biden at 16% of the Latino and Hispanic vote, former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg at 9%, billionaire activist Tom Steyer with 8% and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren with 7%.
But the early caucuses were not exactly flawless. Some participants stood in long lines to cast their votes. And the party has already voided a few thousand ballots from the early caucuses. The party said most were voided because the ballots were not properly signed. At the special caucus site set up at the Bellagio for Las Vegas casino workers, Sanders won 76 of the 121 votes. That will net him 32 of the 51 delegates up for grabs at this location.Meanwhile, Biden won the precinct across the street at Paris. Of the 32 delegates awarded at Paris, Biden won 14 to Sanders’ 7. Buttigieg and Steyer took 6 each.
After the uncommitted group didn't achieve viability at final alignment, sending all the precinct's delegates to Sanders, Larson was disappointed with the process compared to a more straightforward primary vote. But before touching those issues, Sanders pointed to the one topic that has united the Democratic field: ousting President Donald Trump from the White House.– Christal HayesThe chairman of the Democratic National Committee told reporters at the Bellagio hotel and casino he expects the Nevada caucuses to go smoothly after issues in the first-in-the-nation contest in Iowa.
Entrance poll results from NBC show Sanders trouncing the field among white and Hispanic voters and holding his own among black voters. About 75,000 Nevadans submitted their presidential preferences early, the first time they were allowed to do so. That’s nearly the total of the 84,000 who caucused in 2016.About three in 10 Nevadans are Latinos, 10% of the population is black, and 10% is Asian American and Pacific Islander.
Bloomberg’s response? “Does the Senator understand that this divisive behavior is what’s going to re-elect Donald Trump?” he tweeted. “Extremists have taken over the Republican Party,” the group said in one of their ads in Nevada. “Don’t let the same thing happen to the Democrats.”Nevada voters began caucusing at 3 p.m. ET as the first-in-the-West contest marks a critical test for Democratic presidential candidates ahead of South Carolina and Super Tuesday elections.
The high card decides the winner, with aces high. Every deck has to be shuffled at least seven times before cards are drawn from it, with all jokers or direction cards removed from the deck.The Iowa caucuses uses a coin toss to break ties.Sen. Bernie Sanders used his last rally before the Nevada caucuses to make a case for nominating a candidate who can not only beat President Donald Trump but enact a slate of progressive priorities.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar made her last pitch to Nevadans ahead of caucuses on Saturday by highlighting trade, prescription drug prices and guns – an issue close to Las Vegas, a city scarred by a mass shooting at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in 2017. But the outcome of the party's caucuses here Saturday could be a far better indicator than Iowa or New Hampshire of which candidates are favored by Democratic voters in much bigger states out West.
