Bernie Sanders Wins Wisconsin Democratic Primary, Adding to Momentum

By ALAN RAPPEPORTAPRIL 5, 2016

Senator Bernie Sanders won Wisconsin’s Democratic primary on Tuesday, according to The Associated Press, eating into Hillary Clinton’s delegate lead and extending his recent stretch of victories.

Mr. Sanders still faces an uphill fight for the Democratic nomination, but his message of economic populism continues to resonate with progressive voters.

There were 96 delegates at stake for Democrats in Wisconsin.
