Among Republicans, Ted Cruz has won in two states and Marco Rubio in one state. Bernie Sanders, the Democratic primary candidate, has also led in four states.

She has had a very close competition with Sanders in Massachusetts and claims to have won in that state as well. The former Secretary of State has also managed to secure the majority of primary votes in Virginia. Sanders has won in Vermont, where he is a senator, as well as Oklahoma, Colorado, and Minnesota. Trump has won in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Vermont, and Virginia, while Minnesota has gone to Rubio and Texas and Oklahoma to Ted Cruz.
