Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton won Nevada at Saturday's state Democratic convention in Las Vegas. Of the 35 pledged delegates that Nevada will send to the National Convention this summer, 20 will support Clinton and 15 will support Bernie Sanders. 

That's because slightly more delegates showed up at this weekend's event in support of Clinton.

Megan Messerly, a political reporter for the Las Vegas Sun, covered the event where tensions were running high.

"It was very contentious. A group of Sanders supporters approached the stage, some of them were yelling, throwing insults at the party leadership on the stage, and security was trying to push them back and keep them calm," she recounted.

Our News Director Michelle Billman caught up with Messerly for all the details:
