Former Vice President Joe Biden will finish second in the Nevada Democratic presidential caucuses, NBC News projected Sunday night, and will likely earn seven national convention delegates
CHARLESTON, S.C. — .
Candidates have to hit 15 percent both statewide and in congressional districts to receive a share of Nevada's 36 pledged delegates to the Democratic National Convention. Sanders won 18 delegates, Biden seven and Buttigieg got two. Official backing from Clyburn, colloquially known as the"South Carolina Kingmaker" for his heavy influence in the state's Democratic politics, could help cement what Biden has predicted would be a first-place finish in South Carolina. Clyburn, who as majority whip is the third-ranking Democrat in the House, will formally endorse Biden ahead of the primary at an event Wednesday, according to two people with firsthand knowledge.
"Congressman Clyburn is my mentor and one of my closest friends. He has not indicated to me who he is going to endorse. I hope it's Joe Biden and know they have a relationship. He has said to me the future of the country is at stake, and if we lose to Donald Trump, it would be devastating for generations of African-Americans to come. And I know that's what he's thinking about when making this important decision.
