Voting was still going on in other contests or the races were too close to call. It was not. Donald Trump, 65% of people who voted voted against him. Campaign manager Jeff Weaver says Michigan’s primary later this month will be a “critical showdown” and the senator plans to focus heavily on Clinton’s record on trade in the manufacturing state.

On the Democratic side, Clinton won at least 421 of the 865 delegates at stake, compared with her rival Bernie Sanders with at least 232. The same was true for Arkansas, where Clinton’s husband was governor, and in Texas.
Like Cruz, Vermont Sen. Sessions told Fox & Friends that the party must “be appealing to working Americans, and right now Trump has a clearer message”.
The wins reflected her strength in the South, where black voters are an important part of the Democratic base and overwhelmingly supporter her. With strong support from low-income white voters, especially those without college degrees, he dominated in moderate, secular-leaning MA just as easily as he did in the conservative and heavily evangelical Deep South. It seems unlikely at this point, since the Democrats allow 30 percent of the nomination to be made up of super delegates who can align themselves with their choice of candidate – and those super delegates have been choosing Ms. Clinton.
But he has been hamstrung by his inability to cut in any significant way into Clinton’s support among minority, women and older voters.
And now the Democrats and Republicans face new challenges in how they strategize their campaigns heading to the November election.
Clinton is now halfway to the number of delegates needed to clinch the nomination. “I would love to see the Republican party and everybody get together and unify and when we unify, there’s nobody that’s going to beat us”.
In his victory speech, Trump sent a chilling message to the Republican establishment. We need to coalesce around Sen. Rubio won the Minnesota caucus.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is emerging as the candidate who could stop him – with a little help from Florida Sen. With large states like Florida, Illinois and OH coming up, she is poised to collect victories that could elevate her to presumptive nominee status. “Every one of those states so far has been won by either Donald Trump or myself”.
Clinton collected wins in seven states, and Trump swept up victories in seven, including Virginia, another important general election battleground.

He has more than 250 delegates, more than the rest of the Republican field combined, according to the Associated Press. But Rubio still won one, while getting shut out of delegates in three.
