Bernie Sanders has beaten Hilary Clinton to the Democratic nomination in the West Virginia primary 11 May 2016
The US presidential election marathon process continues with Sanders the victor in West Virginia and Trump declared the winner in Nebraska as well ( not surprising seeing as his rivals have pulled out.
Further to Eamonn's heads-up earlier the BBC says:
"The Vermont senator still trails Hillary Clinton in the overall contest for delegates but this win keeps his slim hopes alive.
"We are going to fight for every last vote," he said in a victory speech that also attacked Republican Trump.
With victories in Indiana and now West Virginia, Bernie Sanders has started another winning streak against Hillary Clinton. Like his five-state run in April, however, it will do little to slow her steady march to the Democratic nomination.
Exit polls show the West Virginia vote was particularly quirky. Almost 40% of Democratic voters there said they wanted a president less liberal than Barack Obama - and that group favoured avowed socialist Sanders by more than a two-to-one margin.
Mr Sanders also overwhelmingly carried the 27% who want a president more liberal than Mr Obama.Such a result makes sense if some of Sanders's support is, in fact, an anyone-but-Clinton vote.
At this point the Vermont senator will likely take help wherever he can get it. He should be competitive in the next four contests, but could hit a wall in the June mega-prize, California. Its diverse electorate favours Mrs Clinton, and anything but an unprecedented Sanders win there would seal his fate.
Until then, however, Mr Sanders will continue to be a constant and unpleasant reminder to Mrs Clinton that there are Democratic voters still unwilling to fully get on board her campaign.
