How to watch Saturday's primary contests
On Saturday, Republicans and Democrats will vote for their chosen nominee in caucuses and primaries across five states: Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, and Nebraska.
The state of the primary race in both parties has firmed up since Super Tuesday's slate of nominating contests.
GOP front-runner Donald Trump now leads the pack, nearly a hundred delegates ahead of his closest competitor, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. The billionaire won seven of the Super Tuesday states, while Cruz racked up three victories in Alaska, Oklahoma, and Texas. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, in third place, eked out just one win in Minnesota.
On Thursday, the Republican candidates faced off for their first debate since Super Tuesday in Detroit, attacking one another on several domestic policy issues like immigration and guest worker visas -- along with other, more personal topics.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also came out of Tuesday with a large advantage, honing her general election pitch at a triumphant rally in Miami, Florida. Including superdelegates, rival Bernie Sanders now trails Clinton by over 600 delegates.
