Earlier Tuesday, CNN projected Clinton will win the Mississippi Democratic primary, a victory that consolidates her dominance of Southern primary states with high numbers of African-American voters.

Sanders told Mitchell that his campaign expects more victories like that as voters in other states out West head to the polls. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich on Thursday, said Kristy Campbell, Bush’s former campaign spokeswoman.
The Texas senator won handily in the deep red state with 45.4 percent of the vote.
Clinton had an impressive win in the US State of MS, as a result of which she was able to have more delegates in her kitty as against Sanders.
“Every time you think it can’t get any uglier, they find a way”, she said. “Sanders”, Brown said. “With a 52-43 percent lead, Secretary Clinton’s advantage is impressive, but nowhere as large as the 30 percentage point lead she has in Florida”. He won evangelical Christians, Republicans, independents, those who wanted an outsider and those who said they were angry about how the federal government is working, according to exit polls.
MI was both a big win for Sanders, and a huge loss for pollsters. The Texas senator is sticking close to Trump in the delegate count and with six states in his win column, hes arguing hes the only candidate standing between the brash billionaire and the GOP nomination.
“The sooner I could become your nominee”, Clinton told supporters on Monday, “the more I could begin to turn my attention to the Republicans”.
Tuesday proved an abysmal night for Rubio, who failed to squeeze a single delegate out of nomination contests in Hawaii, Idaho, Michigan and Mississippi.
Mook went on to contrast the victory Sanders eked out in MI against Clinton’s massive, 66-point triumph in Mississippi.
But Cruz won in Idaho, bolstering his argument that he is the party’s chief alternative to Trump.
So far, Trump leads the delegate chase with 458, followed by Cruz with 359, Rubio with 151 and Kasich with 54. Clinton picked up 48.2 percent of the vote.
The candidates also are focusing on a broader audience, with Missouri, Illinois, Ohio and North Carolina also in Tuesday’s primary lineup, and a total of 691 delegates at stake.
But more men (53 percent) picked Sanders over Clinton (44 percent).
In the Democratic contest, Bernie Sanders stunned front-runner Hillary Clinton in a narrow MI primary upset, giving his upstart campaign new energy.
“Oh for goodness, that is not going to happen”, Clinton declared. She is a very easy target, if she is allowed to run.
His party in disarray, a surging Donald Trump called on mainstream Republicans to unify behind his candidacy on Wednesday as his White House rivals pursued their last best opportunity to block the billionaire businessman from building an insurmountable delegate lead in two key states. “Trump might have the momentum but the math is still not near complete for him as we enter the big rounds in the battle for delegates”.
Asserting that he is a Republican unifier, he urged the party establishment to embrace his movement and the massive support that he is getting.
“The Republican establishment is in its death throes”, said longtime tea party leader Mark Meckler.
(Together, they beat Trump by 13 points.) In Hawaii, fewer people voted than in any other state to date-fewer than would fit into a decent-sized basketball arena (13,377).
