Progressive\nfirebrand Bernie Sanders is the odds-on\nfavorite to win the Democratic Party\u2019s nomination for the 2020 US\nPresidential Election<\/a>, and he is now a massive\nfavorite to win the Silver State on Saturday. He has been the\nfrontrunner to win the nomination for over a month, and the rest of\nthe candidates are fully aware that the distinguished senator from\nVermont is in an enviable position. A win in Nevada could lead to\nSanders snowballing his advantage heading into Super Tuesday in a\ncouple weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHICH CANDIDATE WILL WIN THE NEVADA CAUCUSES?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

BERNIE SANDERS -2500
JOE BIDEN +1400
PETE BUTTIGIEG +2000
ELIZABETH WARREN +3300
TOM STEYER +3300
AMY KLOBUCHAR +5000<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sanders had a\nstrong debate performance on Wednesday night, and he is in great\nshape in Nevada. FiveThirtyEight gives Sanders a 73 percent chance to\nwin the Nevada Caucuses as of Friday morning, and there are certain\nfactors working in his favor. The early voting numbers have been huge\nin Nevada, with many of those indicating that they support Sanders,\nand this state\u2019s demographics favor him too. Sanders is far more\npopular among minority voters than his counterparts, so that should\nhelp him win convincingly on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the\ncurrent political\nbetting odds<\/a> for Sanders are not worth taking. Sanders\nwas 13 points ahead of the pack in the most recent poll from Emerson\nCollege, but they aren\u2019t many great polls in Nevada, and we\u2019ve\nalready seen issues with caucuses this election. That cost Sanders\ndearly in Iowa, so it\u2019s hard to swallow this much chalk with that\nin mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former Vice\nPresident Joe Biden had arguably his best debate performance yet on\nWednesday, but it might be too little, too late for the former\nfrontrunner. Biden\u2019s support has fallen for the last month, and he\nhas yet to stop his freefall. He was polling at 28.5 percent in the\nstate on January 7, but he is polling at just 15.3 percent as of\nFebruary 21, and it\u2019s hard to imagine him reversing his fortunes in\none day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a bit of\nvalue on Pete Buttigieg to win Nevada at 20-1 though. Buttigieg has\nfared well in the first two presidential primaries, and he has\nemerged as the frontrunner to challenge Bernie among the centrists.\nHe is having trouble with fundraising, but he is young and\ncharismatic, and that goes a long way in elections. As a relative\nnewcomer, he is more acceptable than some other candidates still in\nthe race, and he could benefit greatly from the caucuses as a second\nor third choice. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most value\nlies in Elizabeth Warren after the strongest debate of any candidate\nyet this cycle. Warren was on the attack from the outset, and her\ncritiques of Mike Bloomberg and others really resonated with the\ncrowd and on social media. She was the star of Wednesday night\u2019s\ndebate, and if you had any doubt that she had the best performance,\nher campaign had a record day of fundraising immediately following\nthe debate. Her campaign raised $2.8 million on Wednesday night, and\nthe once discounted candidate is\nvery undervalued at 33-1<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nBloomberg is the billionaire that everyone is piling on at the\nmoment, but Tom Steyer is the only billionaire on the ballot in\nNevada. Steyer continues to spend a vast amount of money, yet he has\nnot had much of an impact on the race. He has made in-roads in Nevada\nthough, and he should post his best numbers to date. A poll released\non Monday by Point Blank Political shows Steyer ahead in the state,\nand while that\u2019s likely not going to come to fruition, it\nunderscores that Steyer has significant support. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amy Klobuchar continues to hang around and make things interesting. She surpassed Steyer in the most recent poll released in the state, and she was nipping at the heels of Warren according to the latest numbers. However, Klobuchar has little support among minority voters, and forgetting the name of Mexico\u2019s president did nothing to improve her reputation among Latinx voters in Nevada. Klobuchar is continuing to build momentum, but this is not her big breakthrough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
