Sen. Bernie Sanders won the Wyoming Democratic Caucus on Saturday, extending the socialist’s winning streak to seven of the last eight nomination contests.
Wyoming, which is now the sixth state Sanders has won in a row, had only 14 delegates at stake on Saturday out of a total 18.
With its heavily white electorate, The Equality State is certainly one that the Vermont senator should’ve won easily. However, another victory increases the chances of his campaign gaining enough momentum to potentially upset frontrunner Hillary Clinton in her home state New York primary on April 19.
Still, Sen. Sanders is still the underdog for the Democratic nomination. Before 23 counties held their caucus on Saturday, Mrs. Clinton had won 1,280 delegates compared to 1,030 for Sanders. But the overall delegate count was 1,749 to 1,061 for Clinton when factoring in superdelegates.
It takes 2,383 delegates to win the nomination.

They both made stops Saturday in New York City, including Clinton at the famous Original Juniors restaurant in Brooklyn and Sanders at a diner in Long Island City and Bronx Community College.
Mrs. Clinton leads on the PPD average of New York Democratic Primary polls by double-digits.
