Sanders wins Utah caucuses

Bernie Sanders has been projected to win the Utah caucuses, giving him a badly needed victory after a string of losses in the Democratic presidential race against Hillary Clinton. 

But Sanders’s win, while important for keep his campaign alive, will likely do little to change the trajectory of the overall contest.

{mosads}Utah was seen as favorable territory for Sanders, with an overwhelmingly white population and a caucus process that tends to reward candidates who have the most fervent supporters.

It is the second time Clinton has lost Utah, having ceded the state to then-Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) in the 2008 Democratic primaries. Utah offers 33 delegates, which will be awarded proportionally.
