Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump arrives for a news conference at the Trump National Jupiter golf club in Jupiter, Fla., on Tuesday.

Clinton communications director Jennifer Palmieri told reporters, "We don't know how it is going to go".

Mr Cruz captured the Idaho primary in the west of the country.

The Texas senator won handily in the deep red state.

So far, that appears to be Texas Senator Ted Cruz.

Trump was broadly popular across lots of groups, according to exit polls. Kasich, on the other hand, has only 52.

In Mississippi, Clinton won the state by 83 percent, which increased the number of her victories to 12 states in total. However, that's not almost as strong as her performance among black voters in some southern states.

In the Democratic primary battle's most stunning upset yet, Sen.

Clinton had endorsements from the top Democrats in the state, including the backing of Flint, Michigan's mayor.

But the impact of that win was countered by Clinton's overwhelming victory in MS, based largely on her support from the black community.

In the Democratic primary, Sanders was the victor in MI by two percentage points, with 97% of precincts reporting. While that is always his option, Trump has been greatly under fire for entertaining a decision that would essentially split the Republican party.

In a nod toward the kind of traditional politics he has shunned, Trump emphasized the importance of helping Republican senators and House members get elected in the fall.

Can Sanders really hold his own in MI?

That's not impossible - Sanders has won bigger margins than that in some states, including Minnesota and Colorado.

Clinton holds an overall lead of about 200 pledged delegates over Sanders, whose spirited campaign has enlivened grass-roots Democrats and tugged Clinton to the left on some key issues.

It may be a sign of Clinton's vulnerabilities.

A Quinnipiac University survey released Wednesday found Clinton crushing Sanders 62 to 32 in the Sunshine State.

"The beltway elite may never have really understood why job-killing trade deals are such a big deal".

Sharapova has accepted a provisional suspension and will find out after a tribunal hearing in due course what sanction she faces. Swiss watchmaker TAG Heuer then said they would break off negotiations to renew their contract with Sharapova.

People of MI have defied the pundits and pollsters, Sanders said in a statement.

Some have argued that if Sanders had lost MI, it would be the end of his viability as a real Democratic candidate.

Donald Trump originally vowed to run for president under an independent ticket if he was unfairly treated by the Republican party, meaning if he is the clear nominee but not chosen to represent the GOP as the presidential candidate.

Initial results are scheduled to be reported at around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, roughly a half hour after the last people have voted. He took 50 percent of the vote. But in MI, where Kasich was competitive, Trump came in at around 36 percent.

"There's only one person who did well tonight - Donald Trump". Marco Rubio is 23 points behind Trump and isn't even doing much better than Sen.

Since it's a winner-take-all state, Florida is a GOP delegate goldmine. Rubio had a poor showing in the Magnolia State, as well, getting less than 5% support. But if Rubio can't pull out a win in Florida, it could be a crippling blow to his campaign. On Sunday, the candidates broadcast a CNN debate from the city as well. The question here may be how he differentiates himself.

150 GOP delegates are up for grabs, while 179 will be going toward the Democrats.

After a week where he was bombarded with negative advertising, attacked by former nominee Mitt Romney and roundly criticised for his penis-size remark, Trump's success in today's primaries were far from assured. Capping a strong evening with early-morning results (noted by John in his live-blog post), the Republican caucus in Hawaii gave the GOP's frontrunner a little more breathing room in the delegate race. Bernie Sanders of Vermont defeated Hillary Clinton in the MI primary on Tuesday, dealing a setback to her hopes of quickly wrapping up the party's nomination.
