Yesterday, the United States Democratic Party held caucuses in the territory of the Northern Mariana Islands. US Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont won the caucuses, securing a majority of both votes cast and delegates allocated.

The Democratic Party uses caucuses, along with primary elections, to select its nominee for the 2020 United States presidential election. For a candidate to win the Democratic Party's nomination, a total of at least 1,991 delegates are needed.

Of the territory's six delegates, Sanders secured four with about 63% of the vote. Former Vice President of the United States Joe Biden earned the other two delegates with about 36% of the vote.

In the 2016 United States presidential election, Sanders lost the caucuses in the Northern Mariana Islands to Hillary Clinton, securing about 34% of votes.

According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, the Democratic Party is scheduled to continue its primary season on March 17, with primary elections in Florida, Illinois, Ohio, and Arizona.
