Sanders wins West Virginia primary

Published



Bernie Sanders won the West Virginia primary on Tuesday night, capturing support in the predominantly white, blue-collar state. But he remains far behind Hillary Clinton in the Democratic delegate count.

Although only two polls were conducted in the state going in to the May 10 primary, they showed Sanders leading Hillary Clinton 46-40, according to RealClearPolitics averages. In the weeks leading up to the vote Sanders spent $22,000 on television and radio ads in West Virginia, whereas the Clinton campaign didn’t spend a single dollar.
