Bernie
Sanders has officially won Wyoming in a blowout, meaning the Vermont
senator has now won 8 of the last 9 contests.
At
approximately 4:38 Eastern Time, CNN declared Sen. Sanders the winner
in a landslide, with 56 percent of the vote to Hillary Clinton’s
43. Sanders will add a majority of the Cowboy State’s 14 pledged
delegates to his current haul of 1,088 pledged delegates to Hillary
Clinton’s 1,302. However, despite Sanders’ overwhelming support
from Wyoming Democrats, its 4 Democratic superdelegates aligned with
Hillary Clinton before caucuses even began.
Wyoming is
just the latest of a series of wins in the West, having already won
Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Washington, Hawaii, Alaska, and possibly
flipping Nevada, assuming his county delegates come to the state
Democratic convention in May. According to the Sanders campaign,
Bernie Sanders has cut Clinton’s delegate lead by 101 since March
15.
