Sanders seems to be doing better with nonwhite voters, which suggests some of his campaign’s choices may be paying off. They have more prominent black surrogates than 2016, a very intentional strategy of organizing Latino voters, a campaign manager, Faiz Shakir, who is Muslim and Pakistani. Both Sanders and Warren seem to have gone to school on the weaknesses of prior left-wing Democratic candidates (like Howard Dean in 2004 and Sanders in 2016) and tried to adjust for that. I also think that the electorate is changing in ways that are helping Sanders — my guess is that when this primary is over, we will learn that black and Latino voters under 45 voted much differently than those over 45.
