Trump Has Another Big Day in Primaries

Real estate mogul Donald Trump took back much of the momentum he lost from his rivals last week, winning big Tuesday in Republican presidential primaries in Michigan and Mississippi as well as the caucus in Hawaii, but Texas Sen. Ted Cruz still was able to grab a victory in Idaho.

Trump took Michigan with 36 percent of the vote while Cruz just edged out Kasich 24.9 percent to 24.3 percent. Trump easily won Mississippi with 47 percent of the vote to Cruz's 36 percent.

However, Cruz handily won Idaho with 45 percent of the vote over Trump's 28 percent. But the state's 32 delegates still kept the Texas senator 100 delegates behind the billionaire in the total count.

Meanwhile, Trump held a commanding 45 percent to 31 percent lead over Cruz in Hawaii late Tuesday evening.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich failed to make a big enough impression in Michigan to give himself a better chance at victory in his home state, where he needs to win next week to keep his campaign relevant.
