CNN News:民主党初选如火如荼 桑德斯占据领先地位
The Comstock Lode, a rich deposit of silver, was discovered in what U.S. state? Nevada, Colorado, California or Alaska. In 1859, silver was found on Nevada property owned partly by Henry Comstock.
Makes sense it's the Silver State and the eight Democrats still in the U.S. presidential race were hoping to strike it rich in delegates on Saturday when the Nevada Democratic caucus was held. The state's Republican party is not holding a contest. Incumbent President Donald Trump is expected to receive all of Nevada's GOP delegates.
But for the Democrats, cnn projects that U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont had a commanding win in the Nevada caucuses followed by former Vice-President Joe Biden in second place and in third Pete Buttigieg, a former mayor of South Bend, Indiana.
This makes Senator Sanders the front runner in the Democratic nomination process and gives him more momentum going into the next vote. That's a primary scheduled for this Saturday in the state of South Carolina. It's only for Democrats. Like Nevada, South Carolina is also skipping a Republican contest. Regardless of what happens in the Palmetto State though, several of the remaining Democratic hopefuls are already focusing on what's known as Super Tuesday, March 3rd.
