- Both frontrunners crushed the polls in Florida — the elections there were called minutes after polls officially closed.
- Trump’s convincing win there vanquished his main antagonist, Marco Rubio. Once considered a big contender for the nominee, the senator dropped out of the race after losing in his own backyard.

- For the Democrats: Hillary Clinton took Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and Illinois.
