Clinton and Trump likely to win Missouri primary by narrow margins
New York, Mar 16 (IBNS) Although vote counting was completed on Tuesday night in Missouri, which went to polls same day, for the nomination for the US Presidential election,, no one was willing to project both Clinton and Trump as winners as they were clinging to tight leads of less than half a percentage point, according to media reports.
Both Clinton and Trump won the Illinois, Florida, and North Carolina primaries too.
Republican hopeful Donald Trump won a decisive victory in Florida by defeating Marco Rubio on his home trump; soon after Rubio dropped out of the race for nominations, according to reports.
But Trump’s defeat to John Kasich in Ohio has made the former’s detractors somewhat hopeful, according to media reports.
Clinton’s convincing wins in Florida, North Carolina and Ohio primaries on Tuesday, was seen as an indication that she had recovered from her defeat in Michigan a weak ago, which was won by Bernie Sanders, according to reports.
Tweeted Clinton, “Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, Illinois, Missouri: We did it. And together, we're going to win this nomination”.
Sanders, who was counting on his strong arguments against free trade, failed to make an impact on the industrial Midwest.
