LAS VEGAS — Casino shift workers and other gaming industry employees broke for Hillary Clinton at a Caesar’s Palace caucus site, as the former secretary of state works to deliver a knockout blow to Bernie Sanders in Nevada’s Democratic presidential caucuses.
Tim Hogan, a Nevada spokesman for the Clinton campaign, tweeted Saturday afternoon that Clinton won “all 6 casino at-large sites.”
With just more than one third of Nevada results reported Satufday afternoon, Clinton led 52-48 percent giving her a lead of about 100 delegates out of 3,200 awarded.
Clinton prevailed among 278 Democrats who gathered in a ballroom at Caesar’s, though Sanders, a Vermont Senator, was also well-represented.
“I like his stance against corporations and trying to change the divide between the upper class and the lower class,” said Jameson Turner, 41, who supervises table games at Caesar’s and is caucusing for Sanders.
“Equal pay, and I like how she takes care of children,” Clinton supporter Anne Olah, 48, said of the the former first lady and New York senator.
“I’ve been a Clinton fan since ’92,” added Olah, a floral designer at the Bellagio.
Forty nominating delegates were at stake at the Caesar’s Palace caucus site.
