TRUMP CONTINUES UNSTOPPABLE MOMENTUM WITH WINS IN OHIO, FLORIDA, AND ILLINOIS GOP PRIMARIES
Donald Trump swept to three more victories on Tuesday night in the GOP primaries of Florida, Illinois, and Ohio, continuing his winning streak even after securing the delegates needed last week to secure the Republican presidential primary nomination.
According to The New York Times, Trump won both Florida and Ohio by a projected dozens of points. Interestingly, with 89 percent of the vote in, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) netted the least amount of support in the race. Both he and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley dropped out of the race long ago, but Floridians seemed to favor Haley over their own governor (14 percent to 3 percent at 8:17 p.m. ET).

And in the wonderful state of Illinois, Trump easily defeated Haley with less than three percent of the vote, defeating her by 69 points to 25 seconds after the media declared the race. As of 8:21 p.m. ET, the margin was still changing.
