"There is nothing easy about running for president, I can tell you. It's tough, it's nasty. It's mean. It's vicious. It's beautiful. When you win, it's beautiful," Trump said in victory speech. In a tense battle for second place after Trump topped with 32.5 per cent votes, Rubio at 22.5 per cent edged past Cruz who bagged 22.3 per cent votes.
Meanwhile, at the Democratic primary in Nevada, 68-year- old Clinton and her supporters breathed a sigh of relief following a narrow win over Sanders. Clinton beat Sanders by bagging over 5 per cent votes more than her rival. Clinton said, "Some may have doubted us but we never doubted each other." Clinton's Nevada win comes just a week-and-a-half after she lost to Sanders by double-digits in New Hampshire.
