From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Razor-thin vote margins in Missouri’s Republican and Democratic presidential primaries Tuesday raised the question of a recount. With all precincts reporting, Republican Donald Trump defeated Ted Cruz by less than one-half of 1 percent, or 1,726 votes, according to the Missouri secretary of state’s office. Democrat Hillary Clinton’s margin was even closer. Clinton also defeated …

Hillary Clinton has very narrowly notched her fourth win tonight, taking the Illinois primary by a fraction of a point. Meanwhile both sides of the Missouri primary still remain too close to call at this writing. I’ll pick it up in the morning, folks.

John Kasich and Hillary Clinton have been projected to win the Ohio primary. With her third win tonight and things looking good for her in Missouri and Illinois, it’s possible that Clinton will run the Democratic table tonight. Is this the end of Bernie Sanders?

Hillary Clinton has been projected to be the winner of the North Carolina primary. This is her second win tonight and 14th of the primary season. Democratic delegates are awarded proportionally, so it will be some time before the final polling numbers give us that count.

Last month I launched a twice-monthly column for the website of Britain’s Pride Life magazine, a quarterly LGBT rights and lifestyle magazine. Today’s third installment takes a look at the never-ending Trump controversies, his down-ballot effect on other GOP candidates, Hillary Clinton’s AIDS gaffe, and the delegate standings in the Democratic race.

Perhaps in response to Hillary Clinton’s gaffe about the Reagans and her followup policy statement on HIV/AIDS, Bernie Sanders last night issued his own strategy on HIV/AIDS, which includes a multi-billion dollar annual federal prize as a substitute for new drug patents. Below is his message in full: Today, one of the biggest problems in caring for the 1.2 million …

Mediaite recaps: This week’s Saturday Night Live didn’t spare former secretary of State and Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton, cutting the candidate with a razor-sharp spoof commercial that lampooned Clinton’s carefully-workshopped patter and eagerness for votes. Most hilariously (or Hillary-ously?), Kate McKinnon‘s Hillary undergoes a most drastic and surprisingly convincing transformation into Bernie Sanders at the end of the spot.

From the Washington Post: Republican frontrunner Donald Trump threatened Sunday to send his supporters to infiltrate the campaign rallies of Democratic hopeful Bernie Sanders, whom Trump continued to insist was behind disruptions at his events. “Bernie Sanders is lying when he says his disruptors aren’t told to go to my events,” Trump said on Twitter. “Be careful Bernie, or my …

The Guardian reports: Bernie Sanders has criticized Hillary Clinton’s brief praise for Nancy Reagan, whom the Democratic presidential frontrunner said “started a national conversation” on HIV/Aids. “I just don’t know what she was talking about,” Sanders, the independent Vermont senator who is running for the Democratic nomination, said in an interview with CNN on Sunday. “I’m glad [Clinton] apologized, but …

The first real upset of the primary season.

In an industrial state hit hard by the decline …

Donald Trump has been declared the winner of the Michigan primary with John Kasich running about 12 points behind at this writing. Bernie Sanders currently has a slight lead in Michigan and it may be some time before we get the Democratic winner there.

Literally seconds after the polls officially closed, CNN projected Hillary Clinton as the winner of the Mississippi primary based on exit polls conducted earlier. This is Clinton’s 12th state win this primary season. UPDATE: Mississippi has now also been called for Trump.

Above are the GOP delegates at stake in Michigan, Mississippi, Hawaii, and Idaho. Democrats are voting in Michigan (130 delegates) and Mississippi (36 delegates). Embedded below is a live news feed. Watch along with us as the results roll in.

More Super Saturday results: Hillary Clinton has won the Louisiana primary and Bernie Sanders took the Nebraska caucus. Speaking the Associated Press, tonight Sanders expressed optimism for winning the upcoming “very big” races in New York, California, Oregon and Washington.

Super Saturday’s projected winners are rolling in. Taking the Democratic caucus in Kansas is Bernie Sanders. And Ted Cruz picked up two more wins today, taking the GOP caucuses in Maine and Kansas. The remaining Super Saturday states should have their results within the hour.

With a razor-thin 51-49 margin at this writing, Hillary Clinton has been declared the winner of the Massachusetts primary, her seventh and final win tonight. Bernie Sanders finished Super Tuesday with four wins: Vermont, Colorado, Minnesota, and Oklahoma. The final delegates count for today won’t be known until all races are fully counted.

Marco Rubio won’t be going home empty-handed tonight after all, having been projected to win the Minnesota caucus. Earlier tonight he appeared on CNN where he told a highly skeptical Jake Tapper that he intends to continue his race to the convention. Also winning Minnesota is Bernie Sanders, his third win tonight after Vermont and Oklahoma.
