Who becomes the President as Trump advances despite Ohio loss, Clinton extends lead.
The front-runner in the Republican
presidential nomination race, Donald Trump, won a decisive victory in
the key state of Florida but lost to John Kasich in Ohio.
Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton extended her lead with wins in Florida, Ohio, Illinois and North Carolina.Meanwhile Marco Rubio dropped out of the Republican race after losing in his home state of Florida to Mr Trump.
The billionaire has also won in Illinois and North Carolina.
His victories cause a headache for the Republican party because many senior members are concerned by his policies and tone.
Mr Trump will need just over half of the hundreds of delegates remaining to win a majority in the Republican race and assure him of the nomination.
Five big states on Tuesday chose their preferred candidate for November's presidential election.
The winners for both parties in Missouri are yet to be called with Mrs Clinton locked in tight competition with challenger Bernie Sanders and Mr Trump fighting Ted Cruz.
"We have to bring our party together," Mr Trump said in Palm Beach, Florida, as the results came in on Tuesday evening.
However, John Kasich secured his first win in the Republican contest in the state of Ohio where he is governor.
In his victory speech, Mr Kasich said he wanted to create a "climate of opportunity" for future generations and praised the campaign of Marco Rubio.
