Bernie Sanders won over Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary elections of West Virginia on Tuesday night, NBC reported.

The win comes one week after Sanders prevailed in Indiana's Democratic primary and two weeks after Clinton dominated a series of contests in the northeastern United States.

Sanders victory will add yet more fuel to his argument that he should remain in the race despite badly trailing front runner Hillary Clinton in the overall delegate count.

"With this outcome, we now have won primaries and caucuses in 19 states," Sanders said in a statement after the results were in. "We are in this campaign to win the Democratic nomination and we're going to stay in the race until the last vote is cast."
