With its socially liberal coalition of mostly white Irish Catholic/Portuguese Catholic/Italian Catholic voters, Rhode Island was seen as Bernie Sanders's best chance at victory in the so-called "Acela Primaries" on April 26. He pulled out a commanding, 11-point win in the Ocean State on election day. He carried all municipalities but four, winning in the major cities of Providence and Warwick.
Sanders's Rhode Island win limited Clinton's success in New England to slimmer victories in Massachusetts and Connecticut.
