He pulled out an 11-point win in Rhode Island 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. References 30em Rhode Island Democratic primary 2016
