Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) handily won Puerto Rico's Republican presidential primary Sunday, Politico reports.

Puerto Rican voters don't participate in the November general election, but do have a hand in each party's nomination process. Rubio was the only candidate to visit the island, and received 74 percent of the vote, followed by Donald Trump with 14 percent, Ted Cruz with 9 percent, and John Kasich with 1 percent.
