One candidate has blown past the others to become the overwhelming favourite for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination.

Thousands of votes still need to be counted in the state of Nevada, which held its presidential caucuses today. But the basic result is already clear.

Senator Bernie Sanders has won the state, adding to his victory in New Hampshire 10 days ago - and solidifying his status as the most likely candidate to take on Donald Trump in November's general election.

Behind him is a logjam of rivals fighting for a distant second place.

Results from Nevada are still rolling in, and there will be plenty of reaction as well. Read on for the latest news.
