The Nevada caucuses mark what many political pundits and analysts consider the first real test of where Latino voters’ loyalties lie in the Democratic primary. A third of voters in Nevada are Black or Latino.
Previous polls suggested that former Vice President Joe Biden held a sizeable advantage with Latinos in the early portions of the race. Now, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders seems poised to overtake the Delaware native.
