Donald Trump scored a decisive win Tuesday in Florida, but lost Ohio to the state's governor, John Kasich, as the billionaire's rivals desperately tried to stop his march to the Republican Party's presidential nomination.


Hillary Clinton of the Democratic Party padded her lead over Bernie Sanders with victories in Florida, Ohio and North Carolina.

Marco Rubio, the Florida senator who competed with Trump, dropped out of the presidential race shortly after the polls closed.

With Trump's win in Florida, he now has 568 delegates. Cruz has 370, Kasich 129 and Rubio left the race with 163. It takes 1,237 delegates to win the Republican nomination for president, according to the Associated Press.

Clinton earned at least 175 delegates Tuesday. Sanders will win at least 73. Clinton now has a total of at least 1,410, while Sanders has at least 653. It takes 2,383 to win the Democratic nomination, according to AP.
