Vermont senator Bernie Sanders strengthened his front-runner position for the Democratic presidential nomination on Saturday.
Reuters reports the self-described democratic socialist left the state with a decisive victory in the Nevada.
He was backed by a diverse coalition of young and middle-aged voters, Latinos, union members and white college-educated women for the Nevada win.
Sanders' victory there shows signs of expanding support for his surging campaign beyond his longstanding core.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden was on track for a second-place finish that would give his struggling campaign new hope.
