Elizabeth Warren congratulated Bernie Sanders on his resounding victory in Nevada's caucuses Saturday and thanked the state for keeping her in the game.

"I've got a word tonight for Nevada. Thank you for keeping me in the fight," Warren said to a crowd of thousands in Seattle, Washington.

Despite a strong debate performance last week in Las Vegas, early results showed Warren finishing in fourth place in the caucuses.

Still, Warren declared momentum is on her side and pledged to battle on.

"We have a lot of states to go and right now I can feel the momentum, so lets stay in this fight," she said to cheering supporters.

The Massachussetts Senator also took on her newest Democratic rival, billionaire and former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg.

"Here's the problem. He's hiding his taxes...He has a history now of harassing women and of gender discrimination. And he has defended racist policies like redlining and stop and frisk," Warren said.

"So let's think about that. Billionaire who hides his taxes, has a bad history with women and defends racist policies. Let me just put it this way, we're not substituting one arrogant billionaire for another in 2020," she said.
