Amy Klobuchar Plans To Carry On After 5th Place Nevada Caucus Performance
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Amy Klobuchar is telling supporters her presidential campaign has "exceeded expectations" and she plans to carry on, even as she trailed far behind several rivals in Saturday's Nevada caucuses.
The Minnesota senator returned to her home state Saturday following a morning event in Las Vegas. Speaking to volunteers Klobuchar said that "a lot of people didn't even think I would still be standing at this point."
