Hillary Clinton's aides cast her victory in Nevada's Democratic caucuses as a sign that her new focus on increasing opportunities for minorities and poorer Americas — what her team calls her "breaking barriers" agenda — was resonating.
As the race has turned to primary contests in states with more diverse Democratic electorates, Clinton has increasingly decried the issue of "systemic racism" and highlighted her plans to combat the problem.
She started the week with a policy address in Harlem focused squarely on issues impacting the African-American community. In Nevada, she's worked to woo Latino voters with promises to tackle immigration reform in the first 100 days of her administration, should she win the White House.

Hillary Clinton's win in Nevada means she will pick up most of the state's delegates.
With 35 at stake, Clinton will gain at least 18. Sanders will pick up at least 14. Three delegates remain to be allocated, based on votes in the congressional districts.
The results of the caucus are the first step in determining delegates who are expected to support candidates at the national convention.
To date Cheap Sergio Escudero Jersey , Clinton remains far ahead in the overall delegate count due to early endorsements from superdelegates, or party leaders who can support the candidate of their choice, no matter whom voters back in primaries and caucuses.
Including superdelegates, Clinton now has at least 501 delegates and Sanders at least 69.
It takes 2,383 delegates to win the nomination.
