Bernie Sanders Wins Wyoming Democratic Caucuses


Continuing a string of victories across the West, SenatorBernie Sanders of Vermont won the Wyoming caucuses on Saturday, a symbolic triumph if not a race-altering one in the last Democratic contest before the April 19 New York primary.
Mr. Sanders beat Hillary Clinton statewide by about 11 percentage points, though the end result was effectively a tie, as each candidate took seven of Wyoming’s 14 pledged delegates, the fewest any state had to offer. Mrs. Clinton’s nationwide lead remained at 219.
But coming after Mr. Sanders’s recent big victories in
Washington State, Alaska, Idaho, Utah, Hawaii and Wisconsin, it was more evidence of Mrs. Clinton’s weaknesses among white and liberal voters as the race moves to major primaries in New York and elsewhere in the Northeast.
It was the only contest of the day for the Democrats. In Colorado, Republicans were finishing their final round of voting at their state party convention Saturday in Colorado Springs. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas clinched a majority of the state’s 37 national delegates by Friday night.
