#USA - "Sanders defeats Clinton in West Virginia primary"

Published on 10 May 2016
US presidential hopefuls Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders have been projected the winners of Republican and Democratic primaries in the state of West Virginia.

Trump, who vied for the 34 delegates in West Virginia, has also been projected the winner of Nebraska Republican primary with 36 delegates at stake. He has been the GOP’s presumptive nominee since rivals Ted Cruz and John Kay-sik pulled out of the race for the party nomination last week. On the Democratic side, 29 delegates were up for grabs. But even a decisive victory for Sanders would not close the gap between him and frontrunner Hillary Clinton. She is just 145 delegates short of the nearly 24-hundred needed to secure the party's nomination. US citizens will elect a new president in November.
