Superdelegates Clinton 465, Sanders 25
Marco Rubio
with 3 wins has 163 delegates, while John Kasich who is yet to win a
single state has 63 delegates.
To win the party’s presidential nominee,
the candidates need to have the support of 1,237 delegates out of a
total of 2,472 delegates
In order to seal the deal,Donald Trump desperately needs to win both Florida and Ohio — which are winner-takes-all states.
Results of Florida,Ohio,Illinois,North Carolina and Missouri
Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton has won at least four of the
five states where Democrats voted on Tuesday, with victories in Florida,
Illinois, Ohio and North Carolina. She remains in a tight race against
Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.) in Missouri
Bernie Sanders’s best chance among the five states in play Tuesday appeared to be in Missouri, where the result remained too close to call
Bernie Sanders, an independent senator from Vermont, had scored an upset victory last week against Clinton in Michigan and saw Tuesday’s contests as a chance to pull off more come-from-behind wins in states where voters feel damaged by globalization.
On the Republican side, GOP front-runner Donald Trump won a key contest in Florida,that brought Donald Trump all of Florida’s 99 Republican delegates, the biggest prize awarded in any state so far.
Donald Trump added 99 delegates to his Republican National Convention
total on Tuesday night with a crushing victory in Florida's Republican
primary election - ending Marco Rubio's bid for the White House.
Marco Rubio confirmed that he has withdrawn from the race following his poor showing in his home state, Florida
But Trump was denied a victory in another key winner-take-all state,
Ohio, which was won by its own sitting governor, John Kasich. That
victory doesn’t make John Kasich a likely nominee: he has now won a grand
total of one state.
John Kasich Wins Ohio picking up all 66 of the state's delegates
But, without Ohio’s 66 delegates, Donald Trump now faces a
difficult path to reach the majority of delegates he needs to avoid a
“contested” GOP convention, in which no candidate enters with a majority
of delegates locked up.
Republican presidential candidate, Ohio Gov. John Kasich won his home state, keeping him in the race for the White House
In that chaotic situation — not seen in the GOP since 1976 — delegates could choose one of the candidates who ran, or someone else entirely. If their choice is not Trump, the party may have to face strong anger from his supporters, or even a third-party candidacy from Trump himself.
