CNN Reporter Dianne Gallagher says caucuses are “difficult to predict” but Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders’ “ground game” in Nevada is likely to make him successful in the Nevada caucus. The Nevada caucuses are set to be underway when polls open on February 22 in the Democratic presidential race. Ms Gallagher told Sky News Mr Sanders “is befitting from doing so well in Iowa and New Hampshire” and his popularity with Democrat voters was like a “snowball that starts running”.
She said he is “leading in the polls right now and taking that moment and running with it”. She said the Sanders' campaign is “disavowing" claims Russia is providing support to Mr Sanders and saying they "want a fair election and we do not want Russia involved in this and we do not want people to be fooled by this kind of misinformation tactic”.
