GOP Primary Results: Trump Projected to Sweep All 5 States

Trump also was expected to extend his formidable lead in the bruising Republican race, even as rivals Ted Cruz and John Kasich mounted a hasty - and already fraying - tag team effort to block him.

Mr Trump called himself the Republican "presumptive nominee" after victories in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. There were 16 delegates awarded in the Rhode Island primary; the victor claimed nine and Kasich added five to his overall total, which left one for Cruz.

Sen. Bernie Sanders waved the white flag and admitted defeat by never mentioning winning the Democratic nomination while congratulating Hillary Clinton on her four Tuesday primary wins.

Sanders has run as an independent for most of his political career and is the longest-serving independent in congressional history. While Trump praised Pence, he said he didn't think the governor would endorse anyone.

The Democratic victor scored 13 of the 24 awarded delegates.

There are still primaries to come before the two parties officially crown their nominees this summer at national conventions and the national campaign begins.

The Constitution Daily blog noted, "Unlike the Republicans, who use a complicated system of winner-take-all, winner-take-most, loophole and proportional primaries, the Democrats have a more straightforward system". All of Tuesday's primaries are closed with the exception of Rhode Island-which utilizes a mixed format in which unaffiliated voters can vote in either party's primary.

In exit polls conducted in Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Maryland, less than a fifth of Democratic voters said they would not support Clinton if she gets the nomination.
