Sanders Prevails In Democratic Caucus In Wyoming
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP)--Put Wyoming in the victory column for Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.
Sanders won the state's caucuses over Hillary Clinton, but the win isn't likely to help him make up much ground against in the delegate race that will decide nomination.
Wyoming awards just 14 delegates overall, and before Saturday's results, Clinton held a commanding lead of more than 200 pledged delegates.
Her edge over Sanders is even greater when you count the party insiders who are known as superdelegates.
Sanders has dominated in states where Democrats make their presidential preference choice in a caucus, but there are only a few caucuses left on the election calendar.
Most of the states still to vote will hold primaries, contests where Clinton has generally performed better.
With New Yorkers set to hit the polls later this month in a crucial primary vote, presidential candidates on both sides plan to spend the weekend rallying across the state.
Sanders hosted a block party in Harlem on Saturday morning, before holding other events at Bronx Community College, the LaGuardia Performing Arts Center in Long Island City and at the Apollo Theater.
Sanders brought supporters to their feet at Saturday's event uptown with a call for a better society, 1010 WINS' Roger Stern reported.
"Love always trumps hate," Sanders said.
Sanders told supporters his campaign is within striking distance of rival Hillary Clinton in New York, WCBS 880's Stephanie Colombini reported. Sanders currently falls behind the former New York senator in New York polls.
"If we can win here in New York State, it will be a huge step forward," Sanders said.
