Trump sweeps West Virginia and Nebraska primaries
May 11, 2016
Donald Trump has won West Virginia's Republican primary over former rivals Ted Cruz and John Kasich, who remained on the ballot despite their having dropped out of the race last week.
Trump's win -- called by the Associated Press minutes after polls closed --was expected even before Cruz and Kasich suspended their campaigns following poor showings in Indiana.
In the Democratic race in West Virginia, Bernie Sanders beat Hillary Clinton.
