Sanders Sweeps Alaska, Hawaii and Washington in Landslide Victories
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in the United States, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders won
overwhelming victories in Alaska, Washington and Hawaii Saturday,
chipping away at front-runner Hillary Clinton's lead in the race to win
the Democratic Party's nomination for the White House. Sanders won 73
percent of the vote in Washington, 71 percent in Hawaii and 82 percent
in Alaska. He spoke in Madison, Wisconsin.

Sen. Bernie Sanders: "Let me begin by thanking the people of Alaska for
giving us a resounding victory tonight. ... I believe that our campaign
is the campaign of energy, of momentum, which will lead to a large voter
turnout in November and victory. ... All right, are you ready for a news
alert? We just won the state of Washington!"

We'll have more on Sanders' victories after headlines.
