Democrats in Nevada streamed to more than 2,000 community gatherings Saturday to put their Western stamp on a 2020 presidential campaign that has stubbornly defied any semblance of order or predictability.
In rapidly urbanizing Nevada, the Democratic caucuses will be the first test of a truly diverse electorate in the presidential nominating contests.Perhaps no candidate had more at stake than former Vice President Joe Biden, whose assertions of electability suffered grave damage after poor showings in Iowa and New Hampshire.
“As you may have noticed lately, the establishment is getting a little nervous,” Sanders told hundreds of supporters gathered in Springs Preserve park. He mock-quoted his critics: “‘Oh, my goodness, how can we stop them!’”For the rest of those running, lacking Sanders’ ardent following and vast nationwide fundraising base, Nevada was a more crucial test and one far different from the first two.
Both were running on financial fumes until political action committees jumped into the contest and began spending millions on their behalf.
