BuzzFeed News reporter Evan McMorris-Santoro is with Bernie Sanders in Vermont; Rosie Gray is with Ted Cruz in Texas; McKay Coppins is with Rubio in Florida; and Ruby Cramer is with Hillary Clinton.
- Here's the bottom line: Super Tuesday was Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton's night. For full, live updates from the evening and into today's aftermath, check out our running post and recordings of our Facebook live feeds.
- Clinton swept to victory across the nation, handily winning the Southern vote and solidifying her momentum against a once-insurgent Bernie Sanders for the Democratic nomination.
- Donald Trump also won the states he was expected to win in the GOP contests — many of them in the South but also Massachusetts — and faced tougher challenges than expected in some others.
- Ted Cruz won the GOP primary in Texas, his home state, and in Oklahoma, staving off a strong challenge by Trump.
- The victories also give Cruz a big talking point for the other candidates to drop out — that he is the only Republican to hand Trump his three losses so far. The other was Iowa.
- Sanders made his speech early after winning his home state of Vermont and reminded supporters that he could still pull in a huge amount of delegates and remain competitive.
- Clinton's victories are significant because she attracted large support from black voters, who largely went to President Obama in 2008.
- For the Democrats, Clinton won Georgia, Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas, Texas and American Samoa. Sanders won Vermont and Oklahoma.
- On the GOP side, Trump won Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, Virginia, Massachusetts, and Tennessee. Cruz won Oklahoma and Texas.
