LAS VEGAS (AP) – The Nevada caucus, the third contest in the Democratic presidential race, is Saturday. Here are six questions going into that fateful vote.
HOW WELL DOES SANDERS DO?
Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont has high expectations going into the caucus. He is leading national polls and his campaign has a huge footprint in Nevada, a state he narrowly lost to Hillary Clinton in 2016.
But Sanders also had lofty prospects going into New Hampshire last week because he won that state by 22 points in the 2016 primary, and he only eked out a narrow victory over former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg.
Nothing’s guaranteed Saturday, especially in Nevada, whose young caucuses (this is only their fourth iteration) are unpredictable.
