Trump’s rival Ted Cruz, a USA senator from Texas, won his home state and neighboring Oklahoma, bolstering his argument he had the best chance to stop the controversial Trump. Sen. Marco Rubio was a distant third with at least 90.
In the Democratic race, former Secretary of State Clinton won the state party’s primary against Vermont Sen.
Hillary Clinton is dominating the exit polls in most of the early reporting states on Super Tuesday. “As long as you are fighting for working families in America, I will be in the trenches fighting alongside of you”. “I think a lot of people are just realizing I really gotta get out there and make my vote known”, said Lemieux.
Democrats and Republicans recently voted for their hopeful presidential nominees in SC and Nevada, respectively. Meanwhile, Ms. Clinton is articulate, intelligent, tough and experienced, she said.
“The stakes in this election has never been higher and the rhetoric from the other side has never been lower”, Clinton said at the rally, which was attended by members of the Service Employees International Union, as well as teacher, building and trade unions. “Trying to divide America between “us and them” is wrong, and we’re not going to let it work”, she said.
At the Daily Beast, Michael Tomasky, a liberal columnist, advised Sanders to realize that it’s essentially over, and that his rationale for staying in the race would be to influence Clinton rather than destroy her.
Sanders continued to show strength with young voters, carrying the majority of those under the age of 30.
“We’re going forward and this is a campaign to win”, Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver told reporters at a press breakfast on Wednesday.
Devine also suggested that Clinton’s lead among super delegates was “soft”, as “super delegates are free to support whomever they want in this process”.
For the night, Trump won at least 234 delegates and Cruz won at least 209.
Mr Trump pushed back against criticism by suggesting that he’s even attracting Democrats to the Republican Party.
A buoyant Clinton gave a victory speech in Miami, where she took a veiled shot at the Republican front-runner, Donald Trump.
CBS News has projecting a win for Bernie Sanders in Minnesota’s Democratic Caucuses.
“We have expanded the Republican Party”, he said in Florida.
Mr Trump was seeking to sweep the South, which would be a massive blow for Mr Cruz.

Bernie Sanders Campaign Manager Jeff Weaver said, “To overcome that hurdle in a general election environment where you’re being hounded by Donald Trump day after day after day, I’m not sure that can be done”.
