Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders test their luck in Nevada
- 8 years ago
Hillary Clinton is wrapping up a three-day swing through Nevada as she works to fortify a firewall there, while Bernie Sanders tries to break through in the first test of whether his "political revolution" extends to states with more significant minority populations than Iowa and New Hampshire.
For Clinton, Nevada is an opportunity to prove her strength with minorities and demonstrate how a six-month organizing head start can put the lid on her upstart opponent.
During a three-day trip through the state, Clinton also road-tested a new argument -- that Sanders' one-note economic message won't end challenges like racism, sexism and other forms of discrimination -- ahead of South Carolina's primary and Super Tuesday, when many more delegates will be awarded.
