Trump won votes from 32.5 percent of the South Carolina Republicans. That is 10 percent more than his nearest rivals: U.S. Senator Marco Rubio of Florida and U.S. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas. Rubio barely edged Cruz for second place. Rubio won 22.5 percent and Cruz won 22.3 percent of the vote. They are competing to become Trump’s biggest rival.
Clinton’s victory among Democrats was closer. She won 52.7 percent of the vote, about 5 percent more than U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Clinton hopes the win in Nevada means she’s pulling away from Sanders on her way to win the Democratic nomination for president.
