Donald Trump has won the South Carolina primary in the republican race for the US President.
In the democratic contest, Hillary Clinton also defeated Vermont Senator, Bernie Sanders, in a tight race in Nevada.
Both results would be key ahead of the “Super Tuesday” round on March 1, when a dozen more states would make their choice.
Trump’s victory claimed a major scalp when former Florida Governor, Jeb Bush, dropped out of the race.
He finished a distant fourth, days after former President, George Bush, made a rare political appearance to boost his brother’s campaign.
Republican Senators, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, were locked in a battle for second place in the state.
For Republicans, Trump is the one boasting a winning streak. He had a second-place finish in Iowa and double-digit victories in New Hampshire and now in South Carolina.
