Hillary Clinton will win the Nevada Democratic caucuses, Fox News projects, beating Beie Sanders and breathing new life into her campaign just a week-and-a-half after she lost to Sanders by double-digits in New Hampshire.
Though the victory appears to be a narrow one, Clinton is hoping the win will serve to undercut Sanders' momentum as they head next into several delegate-heavy contests.
With 53 percent of precincts reporting in Nevada, Clinton has 52 percent to Sanders' 48 percent.
Each benefited from a different set of constituencies.
Entrance polls showed Clinton held the lead among the state’s influential union voters, with 56 percent going for Clinton and 43 percent going for Sanders.
But the breakdown was flipped among first-time caucus-goers, with 54 percent backing Sanders and 43 percent backing Clinton. Clinton also held the lead among women, but Sanders held a massive lead among caucus-goers under 45.
The balloting in Nevada coincides with the Republican primary Saturday in South Carolina, where front-ruer Donald Trump is looking for a decisive win.
In Nevada, Clinton was looking to rebound after losing big to Sanders in the party's New Hampshire prmiary, and only narrowly wiing the Iowa caucuses.
Clinton had until recent weeks held a double-digit lead in Nevada, but that narrowed considerably in the closing days of the race.
Her campaign is hoping to arrest Sanders' momentum as the primaries move into the Southe and Weste states, where Clinton is banking on strong support from minority voters and unions. From Nevada, the candidates head next into South Carolina a week from now.
But on the Republican side, voting already is underway in South Carolina, the other big contest being held Saturday.
In that state, national front-ruer Trump holds onto a double-digit polling lead with GOP Sens. Ted Cruz, Texas, and Marco Rubio, Florida, seemingly battling in the polls for second place.
Still, many voters said before the polls opened that they were still undecided.
Former Florida Republican Gov. Jeb Bush is close behind the lead pack. He is hoping to do well in the largely conservative state, whose electorate includes lots of military and ex-military voters.
Bush said Saturday that he's "excited where we stand" and that he going to "work hard for the day" and await results after the polls close at 7 p.m. local time.
He also remarked that a lot of people claiming they're undecided this late is “interesting.”
The former Florida goveor entered the 2016 presidential race as an early favorite.
But Bush may need a third-place finish, if not better, in South Carolina to compete in the GOP primary next week in Nevada, then in the large number of states voting on March 1.
A Trump victory could foreshadow strong showings in the Southe states that vote on March 1 -- when he could pile up the delegates that determine the nominee.
Cruz hopes his get-out-the-vote operation and lots of volunteers can help overtake Trump in South Carolina.
