Republican Donald Trump
and Democrat Hillary Clinton scored big wins in Tuesday's presidential
primaries, helping to consolidate their frontrunner status in the 2016 White
House race.
The win in Florida for Trump sent rival Marco Rubio, the US senator from the Sunshine State, crashing out of the campaign. The 69-year-old billionaire also won in Illinois and North Carolina.
Clinton was victorious in Florida, Ohio, Illinois and North Carolina, while Ohio's Republican Governor John Kasich won in his home state.
