Bernie Sanders made a surprise big victory in the populous state of Washington, alongside Hawaii and Alaska, during primaries that were held there. He won about 70% of the votes of Democrat voters in Washington and Hawaii, while winning over 80% of them in Alaska. The victory has led to some regained momentum for Bernie Sanders, after having lost 5 states earlier on 15 March and the big state Arizona on 22 March. Despite this however, the gap between him and Hillary Clinton was only narrowed by about 1/5, and Hillary Clinton is still expected to clinch the Democrat nomination.

Mathematically, Bernie Sanders' odds of winning are still close to impossible as Bernie Sanders while succeeding in mobilizing the ''white'' vote, struggles to get the votes of African Americans and Latin Americans. This was already shown during the last "Super Tuesdays" on 15 March and 22 March as Hillary Clinton won all the big states, of which most were more demographically diverse. Nonetheless, it shows Bernie Sanders is still a candidate to be taken seriously.
