Iran Press/ America: The Vermont senator Bernie Sanders who has been leading in national polling and in several state polls, heads into South Carolina and Super Tuesday with a lead in pledged delegates to be the Democratic nominee.
A candidate needs 1,991 pledged delegates to become the party's nominee. He won New Hampshire and was in the top two in Iowa.
After news organizations projected a Nevada win for Sanders, he declared his movement "unstoppable."
Sanders is projected to win Nevada's caucuses, and early results suggest he is on course for a large victory.
There is a long way to go, however, until a nominee is confirmed.
Early results also suggest former vice-president Joe Biden has performed better in Nevada than in the other two states which have voted so far.
He had underwhelming results in Iowa and New Hampshire. Those states kicked off the four-month long primaries process, in which candidates are jostling to convince voters why they are the best candidate to challenge Donald Trump.
