WASHINGTON: Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton won the presidential primaries in Florida on Tuesday, US networks projected — big wins for the frontrunners in the 2016 White House race.
Clinton was also projected to win the primary in North Carolina. No call was made in the Republican race in that state.
US networks said the races in Ohio, Illinois and Missouri were still too close to call, with polls now closed in all five states.
“Thank you,” Trump tweeted shortly after the race in the Sunshine State was called.
The win for the 69-year-old real estate mogul was a major setback for Senator Marco Rubio in his home state.
