Sanders, on the other hand, looked a strong opponent after winning New Hampshire on February 9 and hoped to repeat the same in South Carolina. But the results of the Nevada Caucuses seemed to have halted his momentum. African-Americans, who make up a big part of the Democratic vote in the southern state, are known to be pro-Hillary though that doesn't mean the latter is taking them for granted.
