US Senator Bernie Sanders has claimed victory in the Wisconsin primary, saying his campaign is "giving energy and enthusiasm to millions of Americans".

Sanders urged supporters to stand together and continue their fight to defeat Hillary Clinton for the Democratic Party nomination.

He also touted his campaign's grassroots fund-raising and refusal to accept large donations from wealthy people and corporations.

"Yes, we can create a government that represents all of us and not just a handful of wealthy campaign contributors," he said.

The self-described democratic socialist said people are tired of establishment politics, adding "I think the people of this country are ready for a political revolution."
