In the Democratic contest, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are fighting for 75 delegates in Arizona on Tuesday and hoping that Latino voters will propel them to victory. Twenty-two per cent of voters in Arizona are Latino and both candidates spent the past few weeks campaigning across the state. Senator Sanders has spent time campaigning at the US-Mexico border where he condemned Donald Trump and Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
Clinton also condemned Sheriff Arpaio, who was criticised for his treatments of inmates, at a Phoenix-area high school this week: “We are a nation of immigrants and of exiles. When I see people like Sheriff (Joe) Arpaio and others who are treating fellow human beings with such disrespect, with such contempt, it just makes my heart sink,” Ms Clinton said, according to KPNX-TV.
In the Republican contest, Donald Trump leads Ted Cruz in Arizona polls.
