Cruz Wins 3 States, Sanders Takes 4, Rubio Wins Minnesota

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump won the Democratic and Republican primaries, respectively, in Georgia's delegate-rich Super Tuesday.

Major networks were projecting Clinton and Trump as the winners shortly after polls closed at 7 pm, reflecting the large leads the candidates' enjoyed over their rivals. CNN projected Clinton the winner at 7:01 pm.

Overall, Trump and Clinton both won seven states on Super Tuesday, and strengthened their grip on their respective parties' nominations.

But while Clinton and Trump put together a string of other Super Tuesday victories, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders won four states, including his home state of Vermont, in his quest to win the Democratic nomination; while U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz won three states, including the night's biggest delegate haul from Texas; and U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio scored his first primary victory with a win in Minnesota.
