Bernie Sanders looks to young Latinos for edge in Nevada caucuses

PUBLISHED FRI, FEB 21 20208:20 PM EST

Bernie Sanders is looking to Nevada’s large population of young Latino voters to propel him to victory during the Nevada caucuses on Saturday, the first nominating contest featuring a large minority population.

Some of the most delegate-rich states that vote later, like Texas and California, also have large Latino populations.

The strategy has been public for months. But a day before regular voting begins, the impression from the ground is that it’s working, possibly even better than expected -- as long as the young voters make it to the polls.

Sanders dominates in national polling of those under 45-years-old and leads the race among Hispanic voters. In Nevada, where one in five Democratic voters in 2016 were Hispanic, the group skews young and has been growing, giving him an extra boost.
