UPDATE: At 10:42 p.m. EDT Hillary Clinton was leading in Illinois and Bernie Sanders was leading in Missouri.

Previous story:

Hillary Clinton rolled up primary victories in Florida, Ohio and North Carolina on Tuesday, dealing a severe blow to Bernie Sanders’ bid to slow her march toward the Democratic presidential nomination.

Clinton also was competing against Sanders in two other Midwestern states, Missouri and Illinois. But her primary night trifecta strengthened her already formidable pledged delegate lead over Sanders.

Florida was the biggest delegate prize and Clinton’s victories put her in a position to end the day with about two-thirds of the delegates needed to clinch the nomination.
