Democratic presidential hopeful Amy Klobuchar, campaigning in her home state of Minnesota Saturday night, claimed Nevada caucuses a success for her no matter what.

Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders led Nevada's presidential caucuses based on early returns Saturday as the fiery progressive pushed for a second straight victory in the Democrats' 2020 nomination fight.

Sanders has emerged as the front-runner in the party's national race, even as establishment-minded Democrats raise concerns about the self-described democratic socialist's ability to defeat President Donald Trump this fall.

A half-dozen more-moderate candidates are fighting to become the preferred Sanders' alternative, yet all were trailing Sanders based on the early returns.
