Trump, Clinton Secure Key Victories in Tuesday Primaries
--------------------------------------------------------

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton moved closer to securing their
respective party's nomination with a series of victories Tuesday night.
In the Republican race, Trump won Illinois, North Carolina and
Florida-where his commanding victory pushed Florida Senator Marco Rubio
out of the race. Trump also has a narrow lead over Senator Ted Cruz in
Missouri. Trump's one loss was in the key winner-take-all state of Ohio,
where Ohio Governor John Kasich earned his first victory of the race. On
the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton won Florida, Illinois, North
Carolina and Ohio, and leads Sanders by only about 1,500 votes in
Missouri. Clinton spoke Tuesday night in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Hillary Clinton: "You know, to be great, we can't be small. We can't
lose what made America great in the first place. And this isn't just
about Donald Trump. All of us have to do our part. We can't just talk
about economic inequality; we have to take on all forms of inequality
and discrimination."
