If you want to know what the candidates are thinking, just look at where they’re traveling. As the results of the Nevada caucuses rolled in on Saturday, Bernie Sanders was in San Antonio, clearly hoping to use the momentum from his win in Nevada to drive open a lead over Joe Biden in Texas. It is one of 14 states to vote on Super Tuesday — just over a week away! — and recent polls there have shown the two candidates essentially tied.

More to the point of San Antonio’s relevance: Among Texas’s five largest cities, it’s the most heavily Latino. Roughly half of Latino caucusgoers in Nevada backed Sanders, versus less than a third of that number for Biden, according to entrance polls. In Texas, Hispanic voters made up roughly a third of Democratic primary voters in 2016, according to exit polls.

The Nevada results are still not fully counted. Sanders’s seemingly wide margin of victory helped Nevada avoid becoming another Iowa, but we’re still waiting on official results from 12 percent of the state’s precincts — and Pete Buttigieg’s campaign is already crying foul about “irregularities” in the reporting process. (More on that process below, from our on-the-ground reporter, Reid J. Epstein.)

Even the man who was once the Nevada caucuses’ most prominent booster now thinks they ought to be a thing of the past. Harry Reid, the former Senate majority leader, was largely responsible for moving his state’s caucuses up to the coveted No. 3 spot on the nominating calendar in 2008. But on Sunday, he declared that it’s time for caucuses, with their complex and often-arcane processes, to be eliminated. “Our Democratic Party did a good job,” he told (our) Reid. “All caucuses should be a thing of the past. They don’t work for a multitude of reasons.”

Biden appears likely to finish in a distant second, but the silver lining is that he maintained his lead among black caucusgoers (a key base of support), capturing two of every five African-American votes. Sanders received 27 percent, good for second place among that demographic.

But a CBS News poll of likely South Carolina primary voters — conducted online by YouGov, before the Nevada caucuses were complete — found that Biden’s advantage in South Carolina has taken a big dip. He’s down to 28 percent (from 45 percent in November) while Sanders holds 23 percent. Tom Steyer, a billionaire hedge-fund investor who has focused heavily on winning over black voters in South Carolina, was not far behind, with 18 percent of likely primary voters.

There’s one race Steyer is winning by a mile: the race for eyeballs. More than four in five likely voters said they had seen a TV or web ad from the candidate. Steyer wasn’t on the debate stage last week, but he has qualified for Tuesday’s showdown in Charleston, S.C.

That debate, hosted by CBS News and the Congressional Black Caucus Institute, will also provide a much-needed opportunity for redemption for Michael Bloomberg. It’s the last debate before Super Tuesday, when he will be on the ballot for the first time (in all 14 participating states).
