Hillary Clinton was immediately named the winner of the South Carolina Democratic presidential primary after polls closed at 7 p.m. on Saturday. Clinton is expected to take the state by a wide margin, in part because black voter turnout is much higher this year than in 2008. Black voters make up a large portion of South Carolina's registered Democrats, and have traditionally been loyal to Clinton. This is Bernie Sanders' second loss in a row, after the Nevada caucuses earlier this month. Next up for the Democrats: Super Tuesday on March 1.
