CHEYENNE, Wyo.—Bernie Sanders has won the Democratic presidential caucuses in Wyoming, extending his string of victories over front-runner Hillary Clinton.
Sanders quickly relayed the word to the crowd of several hundred people, and after a standing ovation, he joked that there are probably more people at his event than live in Wyoming.
He picked up at least seven of the state’s 14 delegates to Hillary Clinton’s six. One delegate remains to be assigned, pending a final vote tally.
The victory on Saturday means Sanders has now won 16 states, compared to Clinton’s 18. But it will do little to change the overall delegate count, which Clinton leads by a large margin.
His Wyoming win maintains the momentum that Sanders has been eagerly seeking to exploit as the campaign moves to much bigger states later this month.
To date, Clinton has 1,286 delegates based on primaries and caucuses to Sanders’ 1,037.
