This woman is how Hillary Clinton won Nevada

In recent months, Sanders spent slightly more than Clinton on television and radio ads in the state, investing $4 million to her $3.6 million, according to advertising tracker Kantar Media’s CMAG, and has more staff on the ground.

Mrs Clinton’s camp angrily disputed those numbers, saying it wasn’t possible to lose the Hispanic vote since she won Hispanic-majority precincts as well as Clark County, home of Las Vegas and the most heavily Hispanic part of the state.

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.

Unlike Iowa and New Hampshire, Nevada’s more diverse population had always been expected to give Clinton an edge over Sanders.

In Nevada’s Democratic caucuses, women were more likely to support Clinton and men to support Sanders, the entrance poll there showed.

But exit polls suggest that Latino voters may now be feeling the Bern, with 53 percent reportedly percent backing Sanders.

During Sunday’s first SC rally following his five-point loss in Nevada the day before, Sanders appeared to downplay his chances of winning in the Palmetto State. Big wins in those states for either candidate would put the nomination within sight.

KEITH: He is on his way to SC right now, but he is definitely looking ahead to Super Tuesday because there are a ton of states voting on Super Tuesday, on March 1st and it’s far more favorable to him.

But the Republican Party will actively campaign against Clinton in North Carolina, said Dallas Woodhouse, executive director of the N.C. GOP.

Nevada registered Democrats such as students, Peace Corps volunteers, diplomats and members of the military and their families living overseas got on the equivalent of a conference call during caucus time Saturday and cast their vote. Sanders on a hard-fought race here, and I want to thank each and every one of you. “He said he was going to win and he didn’t, so now they’re a little demoralized”, Ferson said. The Vermont senator carried more than 8 in 10 voters under 30, while the former secretary of state carried two-thirds of those 45 and older. “We’ve made some real progress”.

“The Sanders campaign I think over-promised in Nevada”.

Tamara, is this moment of victory for Hillary Clinton’s campaign or a moment of relief? The first Southern Democratic contest comes just a few days before a major set of nomination contests known as super Tuesday.

Working to increase his support among black voters, Mr Sanders visited a Baptist church lunch following services in West Columbia, South Carolina, and talked up the country’s economic recovery under President Barack Obama.
