Celebrations for Clinton, Trump on Super Tuesday

Mar 02, 2016, 09:55

Republican Donald Trump looks to be the front-runner in the bid for a GOP presidential nomination with Super Tuesday wins in six states.

Both parties held contests in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont and Virginia. Bernie Sanders, who has won the race in his home state of Vermont. Sanders are battling for 865 delegates in 11 states - roughly a third of the number needed to clinch the nomination.

Clinton earned her latest win in the string of contests known as Super Tuesday.

The New York Times reported on Tuesday that big group of influential donors will direct resources to a super-PAC with the sole objective of stopping the billionaire's march to the nomination. Timothy M. Kaine and Mark R. Warner, to her husband, former president Bill Clinton.

Republicans had 42 delegates up for grabs in The Bay State, which are allocated proportionally.

On the Democratic side, Clinton took advantage of her strong performance with black voters to cruise to big wins in several southern states, where African Americans make up a big bloc of the party's electorate.

Instead, he has watched Mr Trump, a brash NY real estate mogul, display surprising strength with the region's evangelical Christians and social conservatives.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is fighting Trump hard, however.

Did Donald Trump's KKK reaction change your opinion on him?
Trump blamed the remarks on miscommunication on a "lousy earpiece", and he later tweeted that he disavowed the support of Duke. I mean, I don't know - did he endorse me or what's going on? If that's the case, then it is time for the party to unify.

In the run-up to Tuesday, Cruz and Rubio both have stepped up their attacks on the front-runner, resorting to the kinds of personal insults and attacks that have defined Trump's campaign style.

Mrs Clinton and Mr Trump were pressing for sweeping victories that could distance them from their party rivals and move them closer to a November presidential election showdown.

Carson took the stage Tuesday at the Grand Hotel in Baltimore and called the political system "rotten to the core". And Ohio Gov. John Kasich, pursuing a slow accumulation of delegates, is targeting the same Northern Virginia suburban voters that Rubio needs.

The Florida senator, in contrast, could appeal to Virginia's increasingly diverse electorate, Wright said.

The Florida senator has cast himself as Republicans' best chance to win in a general election and has received a flood of endorsements from GOP officials after other more mainstream candidates dropped out.
