Bernie Sanders swept all three Democratic caucuses on Saturday, with decisive victories over front-runner Hillary Clinton in Washington state, Alaska and Hawaii, according to NBC News analysis.
Speaking to a rapturous crowd in Madison, Wisconsin, after his victory in Alaska, Sanders declared his campaign was making “significant inroads” into Clinton’s big delegate lead.
The Vermont Senator also gave some breaking news to his jubilant supporters.
“OK, are you ready for a news alert? We just won the state of Washington!” Sanders told the crowd to cheers and applause. “That is what momentum is about.
“Don’t let anybody tell you we can’t win the nomination or win the general election — we’re going to do both of those things,” Sanders said.

Sanders later notched a big win in the Hawaii caucuses, NBC News projected, and had picked up 46 delegates to Clinton’s 14 across Saturday’s contests.
Despite the gains, however, Sanders still significantly trails Clinton in the delegate count. As of 4:15 a.m. Sunday, Clinton leads Sanders 1,672 to 994.
