Hillary Clinton won going away in Virginia’s Democratic Party presidential primary, and Donald Trump walked away with a narrow win over Marco Rubio on the Republican side on Super Tuesday.
Clinton defeated Bernie Sanders, getting 64.3 percent of the vote in the two-way race, with Sanders polling 35.2 percent.
Trump won a tight Republican race with 34.8 percent of the vote, with Marco Rubio coming in second with 32.0 percent of the vote. Ted Cruz was a distant third at 16.7 percent, and John Kasich was fourth at 9.7 percent.
It was a big, but not ultimately determinative, night for the two front-runners. Clinton picked up convincing wins in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee and Texas, with Sanders winning in Oklahoma and his home state, Vermont, and leading in Colorado and Minnesota.
Clinton had a narrow lead late Tuesday in Massachusetts.
