BERNIE SANDERS GETS TWO(2) WINS OVER HILLARY CLINTON
Bernie
sanders gets two wins over Hillary Clinton-but Hillary Clinton graps the biggest
prise
Of the
night.
Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders fought Saturday's Democratic presidential primaries and caucuses to what seems likely to be a virtual tie.
Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders fought Saturday's Democratic presidential primaries and caucuses to what seems likely to be a virtual tie.
Of the three nominating
contests held on Saturday, Sanders won Kansas and was projected by NBC News and CNN to win in
Nebraska.
Clinton was projected to
win the Louisiana primary, a contest worth just under the number of
delegates of Nebraska and Kansas combined.
Shortly after several
news outlets called Kansas for Sanders, the senator reiterated that the
win proves he still has a path to securing the nomination.
"We have the
momentum. We have a path toward victory," Sanders said in a statement.
"Our campaign is just getting started and we are going all the way to the
Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia."
Clinton has easily
won states across the South, which has been attributed to her campaign's
strength among African-American voters.
Though his wins may
inject some perceived momentum into his bid following a string of losses
earlier this week on "Super Tuesday," Sanders faces an increasingly
difficult electoral map going forward.
Sanders may pick up
a victory in the Democratic caucuses in Maine on Sunday. But Clinton led in
almost every reliable recent poll of states voting on March 8 and March 15,
when another substantial chunk of delegates will be awarded.
And Sanders still
appeared to fall short of picking up the delegates needed to put a dent in
Clinton's significant pledged delegate lead.
