Only Bernie and Joe left standing (96.3% reporting). The only candidates to get Nevada delegates. .

NBC News•February 24, 2020

CHARLESTON, S.C. — Former Vice President Joe Biden will finish second in the Nevada Democratic presidential caucuses, NBC News projected Sunday night, and will likely earn seven national convention delegates.

The second-place finish, added to the endorsement of South Carolina's top Democrat, Rep. Jim Clyburn — which will come Wednesday, NBC News has learned — will give Biden momentum heading into this week's South Carolina primary.
***
Official backing from Clyburn, colloquially known as the "South Carolina Kingmaker" for his heavy influence in the state's Democratic politics, could help cement what Biden has predicted would be a first-place finish in South Carolina. Clyburn, who as majority whip is the third-ranking Democrat in the House, will formally endorse Biden ahead of the primary at an event Wednesday, according to two people with firsthand knowledge.

He is the highest-ranking person in House leadership to have backed Biden's candidacy to date.

In a live interview with MSNBC's Kasie Hunt on Sunday night, Biden said he was unaware of Clyburn's backing being made official, adding that it would be "the single most valuable endorsement."

Joe will go to SC with MOMENTUM.

1. Time to coalesce around Joe. This ain't beanbag.

[UncleNoel]

3. Yes, we need to intensify our support.

Warren is gaining some traction which might slip some votes from Sanders.

I look forward to the debate this week.

4. Agreed, but there is no question that Bloomberg is hurting Biden the worse, and I don't

see his supporters coalescing around any one but Bloomberg

2. Joe's the one!!!

6. Not bad.. the last I read Biden had 2 delegates..

9. Just sent Biden another donation. Let's keep it up for Joe...

you know, for retaking the White House, the Senate,
and basically saving this democracy from Russianpublicans.

11. Good for you!

A lot of Joe's supporters don't have the $$$, but we send what we can with heart!

12. Time for Buttigieg to go full negative and tear Biden apart :sarcasm:

I sick and tired of hearing Warren has to rip Sanders.

[MrsCoffee]

14. You know Bernie's team is already on that.

And someone has to slow Sanders roll or we are screwed.

[denem]

15. And that someon, who is itching to take on Sanders,

is Bloomberg. The man is not a 'strong debater' to say the least. He was always planning to take him apart with ads.

[George II]

17. They are doing so on twitter already.

13. Woop woop! Go Joe! nt

[James48]

16. I'm sticking with BERNIE!

He is 3 and zero right now with voters.

Come on over to the real deal. Come to BERNIE!

[world wide wally]

18. If that is the number of votes to the right of their names, (after the percent) we are in trouble

[squirecam]

19. It is not

Those are delegates.

Do you really think Bernie got only 6000 votes in Nevada?

Bernie got 35% of the vote.
