Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Sanders Sweeps Alaska, Hawaii and Washington in Landslide Victories

HeadlineMar 28, 2016

Back in the United States, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders won overwhelming victories in Alaska, Washington and Hawaii Saturday, chipping away at front-runner Hillary Clinton’s lead in the race to win the Democratic Party’s nomination for the White House. Sanders won 73 percent of the vote in Washington, 71 percent in Hawaii and 82 percent in Alaska. He spoke in Madison, Wisconsin.

Sen. Bernie Sanders: “Let me begin by thanking the people of Alaska for giving us a resounding victory tonight. … I believe that our campaign is the campaign of energy, of momentum, which will lead to a large voter turnout in November and victory. … All right, are you ready for a news alert? We just won the state of Washington!”

We’ll have more on Sanders’ victories after headlines.
