But the senator from vermont won four states adding some much needed delegates to his bank. Political reporter dave evans is live in florida where his frontrunners are celebrating. Dave, good morning. Reporter good morning, ken. First of all, the reason why were in florida, even though they didnt vote last night, the reason is i think both donald trump and Hillary Clinton, they wanted to send the signal that theyre looking that takes place here in florida on march 15th. Now, neither clinton nor trump last night actually locked up their partys nomination, but they took a big step closer to that goal. And i think it seems kind of inevitable to Many Americans their nominations probably coming in the next couple of weeks. Still, this fight is not over. It will go on at least a couple of more weeks. Let me introduce to you the next president of the United States, donald trump. [ cheers ] reporter on the same day that Republican House and Senate Leaders denounced donald trump on capitol hill, he told the republican establishment its time to finally accept him as the nominee. I am a unifier. Once we get all of this finished, im going to go after one person, thats Hillary Clinton. What a super tuesday. Reporter Hillary Clinton scored a major haul of delegates from massachusetts to american samoa. Shes now aiming past the primaries and focusing on trump.

Reporter but marco rubio with his first win in minnesota insists hes the one to beat trump. If we nominate donald trump as our nominee for the republican party, it will be the end of the modern republican party, Hillary Clinton will smoke him in a general election. Reporter now, looking back at the democrats for just a second, i think Bernie Sanders, he faces an almost Impossible Task at this point, thats because Hillary Clinton, she has now won in big diverse states such as texas, georgia, massachusetts. On her side, sanders only has about 300. Now, looking at republicans, it is perhaps a bit more doable for marco rubio. Still, donald trump is way out in front. What rubio is going to have to do is hes going to have to win in michigan next week, hes also going to have to win in states like illinois, missouri and then here in florida on march 15th, he is going to have to win his home state.
