Hillary Clinton narrowly wins Nevada caucuses

Former U.S. secretary of state Hillary Clinton has narrowly won the Nevada Democratic caucuses in the race for the party's 2016 Presidential nomination. She defeated Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders by a margin of 4 percent votes. While, in South Carolina’s Republican primary, Donald Trump has edged out his rivals capturing more than 34 percent of the vote. After Trump's big victory in New Hampshire last week, his win in South Carolina yesterday is likely to solidify him as the Republican front-runner. Meanwhile, Jeb Bush today dropped out of the Republican presidential race after a series of poor performances in primaries, thereby shattering Bush family's dream of an unprecedented third stint at the White House. Former Florida Governor Jeb announced to suspend his campaign after a fourth-place finish in South Carolina.
