What Went Down In The 2020 Nevada Caucuses

It does look like Biden is treating Nevada as a win, Geoffrey. Before his speech was cut off, a supporter yelled “The Comeback Kid.” I’m not sure I’d call it that yet, but according to preliminary entrance poll results, he led with black voters in the state — maybe not by as much as he’d like, but still by enough that he should at least be feeling OK about South Carolina. Of course, much depends on how the press treats this.

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.
