Washington: Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton on Saturday won the Nevada caucus by a wide margin, defeating Senator Bernie Sanders and boosting her nomination chances.

It was highly expected that Clinton would win in Nevada and she did that. "I am so, so thrilled and so grateful to all of my supporters out there," Clinton said during her victory celebration Saturday. "Some may have doubted us, but we never doubted each other."

Distinguishing herself from Sanders, Clintom argued that she not is not angry about economic and racial inequality, but she is someone who can offer better solutions to address a broader range of problems.

"Americans are right to be angry, but we're also hungry for real solutions," she said. "In the campaign, you've heard a lot about Washington and Wall Street. We all want to get secret unaccountable money out of politics. That starts with appointing a new justice to the Supreme Court who will protect the right of every citizen to vote, not for every corporation to buy elections. ... The truth is, we aren't a single-issue country. We need more than a plan for the big banks, the middle class needs a raise and we need more jobs."

It may be recalled that in May, Nevada was picked as the place by Clinton to unveil her plan to reform the immigration system of the nation. As polls showed a dead heat, Clinton's campaign had started to set expectations for a possible Sanders upset in Nevada.

"There's reasons to believe that Senator Sanders should fare well in a state like Nevada," Clinton press secretary Brian Fallon told MSNBC the day of the New Hampshire primary, which Sanders won by a landslide. "Obviously there's an important Hispanic element to the Democratic caucus-goer universe in Nevada, but it's still a state that is 80 percent white voters. You have a caucus-style format, and he'll have the momentum coming out of New Hampshire presumably, so there's a lot of reasons he should do well."
