WASHINGTON (AP) — For Mississippi Democrats, the only real question was who liked Hillary Clinton the most, as exit polls showed the former secretary of state carried nearly every voter group in her trouncing of Bernie Sanders in Tuesday's primary election.
In Michigan, haunted by lead contamination in the city of Flint, Democrats strongly endorsed tougher regulations to protect public water supplies.
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Republican front-runner Donald Trump swept to victory in the Mississippi and Michigan presidential primaries Tuesday, deepening his grip on the GOP nominating contest. Democrat Hillary Clinton easily carried Mississippi but was locked in a close race with rival Bernie Sanders in Michigan.
The primaries offered Trump and Clinton a chance to pad their leads and start turning toward the general election. But Sanders was hoping to prevent a Clinton coronation with a strong showing in Michigan, the night's biggest prize and the first Midwestern industrial state to vote in the 2016 race.
