On the Democratic side, voters in Louisiana, Kansas and Nebraska were weighing in on Saturday March 05,2016 on the race between Hillary Clinton, the former secretary of state, and Bernie Sanders, a US senator from Vermont.
Polls show Hillary Clinton with a big lead in Louisiana, which has a large bloc of African-American voters, who helped her roll up victories across the South on Super Tuesday. But the caucuses in less diverse Kansas and Nebraska could be more suited to Sanders. The three states have a total of 109 delegates at stake.
Hillary Clinton, who seems set to be the first woman presidential nominee of a major political party, had a landslide win in Louisiana. But she lost to Senator Bernie Sanders in Kansas and Nebraska
Ted Cruz, Donald Trump split four states
US Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz, currently in second place in a Republican field that has been winnowed to just four, is seeking to dent the lead of brash New York billionaire Donald TrumpSince winning seven of 11 contests on Super Tuesday March 01,2016, Donald Trump has come under withering fire from a Republican establishment worried he will lead the party to a resounding defeat in November 2016's election.
Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, called Trump a phony and a fraud who was playing American voters for suckers, and 2008 nominee John McCain, a US senator from Arizona, said Trump's foreign policy views were uninformed and dangerous.
Republicans vote in Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana and Maine,which together account for just 155 delegates
Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz split victories in four nominating contests with front-runner Donald Trump on Saturday March 05,2016, bolstering Cruz's argument that he represents the party's best chance to stop the brash New York billionaire.
The results were a repudiation of a Republican establishment that has bristled at the prospect of either Ted Cruz or Donald Trump winning the party's nomination and has largely lined up behind U.S. Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, who was shut out in all four contests.
"I think it's time that he dropped out of the race," Trump said of Rubio after the contests. "I want Ted one on one."
Ted Cruz won Kansas and Maine on Saturday March 05,2016, while Donald Trump won the bigger states of Louisiana and Kentucky, holding onto his lead in the race for the Republican nomination for the November 8 presidential election, even though Cruz captured more delegates on Saturday.
Ted Cruz won 64 delegates and Donald Trump won 49 delegates on Saturday March 05,2016
