US presidential nominations: Trump and Clinton win big on Super Tuesday
New York, Mar 2 (IBNS) In the run up to the US presidential elections to be held in November, Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton are in a strong position to win their respective party nominations with a series of victories in what the media as dubbed the Super Tuesday elections, the biggest day of the primary campaign.
Donald Trump won in six states and Hillary Clinton in seven of the 11 state elections.
Trump won in Virginia, Arkansas, Alabama, Massachusetts, Tennessee and Georgia. Two races, Vermont and Alaska, had not been called.
Clinton, a former secretary of state and senator, and earlier expected to have a smooth run, won in Massachusetts, Texas, Arkansas, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia and Virginia.
Of the Republicans in the race for the presidential nominations, Ted Cruz, won his home state of Texas and Oklahoma and Marco Rubio won in Minnesota for his first victory.
On the Democrat front, Bernie Sanders, won the Oklahoma primary and caucuses in Minnesota and Colorado, as well as the primary in his home state of Vermont.
But following the Super Tuesday results, both Trump and Clinton, who appear to have left their competing party members behind, were focussing on each other for the Presidential elections while addressing the crowd at their respective victory rallies, according to media reports.
