Democratic presidential candidate and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders arrives onstage with his wife Jane at a campaign rally in the Abraham Chavez Theatre in El Paso, Texas, on Saturday.
Bernie Sanders scored a resounding victory in Nevada’s presidential caucuses on Saturday, cementing his status as the Democrats’ national front-runner amid escalating tensions over whether he’s too liberal to defeat U.S. President Donald Trump.
The 78-year-old Vermont senator successfully rallied his fiercely loyal base and tapped into support from Nevada’s large Latino community as the Democratic contest moved for the first time into a state with a significant minority population.
