                    Sanders Wins Wyoming Democratic Caucuses

   by VOA News

   Senator Bernie Sanders was the projected winner of Saturday's Wyoming
   Democratic caucuses, defeating former Secretary of State Hillary
   Clinton with about 56 percent of the vote.

   The win was Sanders' eighth in the past nine contests. Just 14
   delegates were at stake in Wyoming, but the win will help the senator
   from Vermont slightly reduce Clinton's 219-delegate lead.

   Meantime, Colorado Republicans were finishing the final round of voting
   at their state party convention Saturday, where Texas Senator Ted Cruz
   won a majority of the state's 37 delegates Friday night.

   The Republican contest has intensified as Donald Trump leads in the
   race to win the 1,237 delegates needed to win the nomination.  Rivals
   Cruz and Ohio Governor John Kasich cling to hopes they can persuade
   delegates at the Republican convention to select them as a consensus
   candidate in the fractious contest. Cruz won a landslide victory in
   Wisconsin last week, while Kasich lags far behind in the overall
   delegate count.

   The next key primary is April 19 in New York, where Clinton holds a
   double-digit lead over Sanders in the polls. Political analysts say
   Clinton is hoping to win by a wide margin in the delegate-rich state,
   recapture her momentum and put the Democratic Party contest out of
   reach for Sanders.

   New York is Trump's home state, and polls ahead of the Republican
   primary there give him a huge lead over Cruz and Kasich. Cruz still
   badly trails Trump in the delegate count.  He would have to take nearly
   90 percent of the remaining available delegates to claim the Republican
   nomination.
