Voters in Florida, Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, and North Carolina head to the ballot box on Tuesday, awarding one of the biggest slates of delegates of the primary season. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) have to win their home states, fending off Donald Trump, or their campaigns are all but over. If Trump wins Ohio and Florida, on the other hand, he will be a big step closer to cinching the Republican nomination. On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton could also make significant progress in securing the nomination and curtailing the path for Sen. Bernie Sanders. Observers will be looking at how well Sanders does in Ohio, Illinois, and Missouri after his victory in Michigan last week.
