It seems democrat Hillary Clinton, and republican Donald Trump may both emerge as their party’s candidates soon, as both have won the most states in Super Tuesday vote.
Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and Virginia were among the states where both triumphed.
Mr Trump was defeated by his closest opponent, Ted Cruz in Texas and Oklahoma.
Democrat Bernie Sanders won four, including his home state of Vermont.
Super Tuesday sees 11 states voting on the biggest single day ahead of the November 8 presidential election.
In her victory speech, Mrs Clinton seemed to already be looking towards a potential presidential race against Donald Trump, saying: “the stakes in this election have never been higher and the rhetoric we are hearing on the other side has never been lower.”
Donald trump, on his part, insisted that he was a “unifier” who can put internal fighting in the Republican Party behind him to focus on a general election race against Mrs Clinton.
