Bernie Sanders wins Nevada caucuses, cementing his status as Democratic frontrunner

Sen. Bernie Sanders has won the Nevada Democratic caucuses.

By 8 p.m. EST on Saturday, both Fox News and NBC News projected that Sanders had won The Silver State, dominating his Democratic competitors among Latinos and young voters.

Sanders was leading with more than 50 percent of the votes, while Joe Biden was in second place with less than 20 percent.

According to Politico, it is not yet clear when the complete caucus results will be tallied, though it could be sometime Sunday.

The uncontested victory comes on the heals of Sanders' narrow win in New Hampshire earlier in the month when he bested Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Amy Klobuchar in a much closer race. Sanders and Buttigieg also effectively tied in Iowa, meaning Sanders has essentially swept the first three Democratic primary contests.
