The biggest prize of Super Tuesday, the Texas primary, has gone to Hillary Clinton on the Democratic side and Ted Cruz for the Republicans.

It is the latest in a string of Super Tuesday wins for Clinton, who seems to have solidified her base within the Democratic party.

For Cruz, though, this is his first win since the Iowa caucuses. Texas is his home state, so winning was key. Donald Trump, who has had a series of big wins in other states on Tuesday — including a few big victories in southern states — came in second. Marco Rubio, who has yet to win a primary or caucus, came in third.
