                   Sanders, Trump Win West Virginia Primaries

   by VOA News

   Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders won Tuesday's presidential primary in
   West Virginia, making a small gain in his delegate deficit as he again
   vowed to battle former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton until the
   end.

   Sanders won 51 percent of the vote with Clinton getting 36 percent.
   The proportional system used by Democrats to allocate delegates means
   Sanders will get at least 16 delegates while Clinton will still get
   11.

   She leads the overall count 2,239 to 1,469 when counting the so-called
   super delegates who have pledged to support her.  A Democrat needs
   2,383 to clinch the party's nomination at its July convention in
   Philadelphia.

   Sanders told supporters Tuesday night in the western state of Oregon,
   which votes next week, that he is going to "fight for every last vote"
   despite facing an uphill battle.

   ''

   "We have been fighting uphill from the first day of this campaign when
   people considered us a fringe candidacy," Sanders said. "And our
   message to the Democratic delegates who will be assembling in
   Philadelphia is while we may have many disagreements with Secretary
   Clinton, there is one area we agree and that is we must defeat Donald
   Trump."

   Trump, the only Republican left in the race, easily won Tuesday in West
   Virginia and in Nebraska.

   His campaign issued a statement calling both wins a "great honor" and
   saying Trump hopes he wins both states again in the November general
   election.
