Hillary Clinton has won the Nevada Democratic caucuses, several media outlets are projecting.

With 88 percent of the vote in, Clinton leads Bernie Sanders 52.6 percent to 47.3 percent. Clinton is ahead by 10 points in Clark County, home to almost three-quarters of all Nevada residents, with 55 percent of the vote compared to Sanders' 44.9 percent, with 83 percent reporting. Las Vegas, the most populous city in the state, is in Clark County.
