The leftist candidate Bernie Sanders has won a resounding victory in the caucuses of the state of Nevada that places him as a leader in the race for the nomination of the US presidency by the Democratic Party.

With 50% of the vote scrutinized, Sanders, who is a senator for the state of Vermont , had achieved 40% of the votes . He was followed by the former mayor of the city of South Bend Pete Buttigieg with 18.4% and former Vice President Joe Biden, with 18.1% . Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren kept 12.1% .

Sanders' triumph, in line with the provisions of the polls, puts the veteran senator in the first unquestioned position of the campaign . The fact that he has gained significant support from African-Americans and, according to ballot box polls, half of the Hispanic vote makes this victory particularly important for him. In 2016, Sanders 'punctured' among those minorities, which gave Hillary Clinton the victory.

But as or more transcendent that Sanders' triumph is the failure of his rivals . Biden, who until two weeks ago was the leader in all polls, has kept half of the votes that Sanders. If next week does not win in the South Carolina primary, Biden will be ruled out in the pools.

Equally disastrous is the result of Warren , who came to dispute the leadership of the Democratic left wing to Sanders in September, and after Nevada is completely out of the race. The same thing happens to the Minnesota senator Amy Klobuchar, who has finished fifth, with 9.8% of the vote.

Buttigieg's result is also poor. Although the mayor of South Bend is third in the count, and on Biden's heels, his problem is the rejection he causes among black voters.

None of those losers consider withdrawal. That is excellent news for Sanders, because it means that the vote of those who oppose him is fragmented .
