WASHINGTON , United States (AFP) — Senator Bernie Sanders mounted a come-from-behind victory Tuesday in Indiana’s Democratic primary, denying the former secretary of state a feather in her cap as she seeks their party’s presidential nomination.

Sanders, a self-declared democratic socialist, was ahead of Clinton by 53.2 percent to 46.8 percent with about three quarters of precincts reporting, although Clinton remained well ahead in the delegate battle for the nomination.
