The two candidates still standing for the Democratic presidential nomination each claimed to have momentum coming out of Nevada’s caucuses, where Hillary Clinton posted her first clear win over Bernie Sanders in the 2016 nominating contests.
Clinton, who weeks ago led in the state by an estimated 25 percentage points, pulled out the win by more than five points, 52.7 percent to 47.2 percent. The victory was a chance to erase a nightmare 22-point loss in New Hampshire on Feb. 9, but came with cautionary signs about the difficulty of putting away Bernie Sanders for good and moving on to the general election.
