What Went Down In The 2020 Nevada Caucuses

Taking in the MSNBC coverage of the primary, the outlet interrupts Biden speaking to say that it’s calling the race for Sanders in Nevada. Not the greatest moment for Biden.

Again, I caution people against reading too much of anything into results from just 4 percent of precincts. The numbers can change quite a bit if the precincts aren’t representative. Honestly, if Nevada isn’t going to release a majority of the results tonight, they should have done what Iowa did and released none at all. These numbers flashing across screens showing Sanders with a 26-point lead could be misleading.

I am just signing on for the evening (I don’t roll on Shabbos) and I have to say, I wasn’t expecting the live blog to be over at this point — but I also wasn’t expecting this little information to be out! I have to say, though, after the mess in Iowa, I understand why there’s an abundance of caution in releasing the results, if that’s part of the delay here. Nevada does not want to become the second punchline of the Democratic primary.
