updating our top story, hillary clinton took some big steps toward the democratic nomination last night with victories in florida, ohio, north carolina, and illinois. donald trump had the most wins on the republican side, taking illinois, north carolina, and florida. trump's win in the sunshine state forced florida senator marco rubio out of the race. ohio governor john kasich was the winner in his home state. that was his first win of the entire campaign. >> that really was a big one because for those who were as opposed to donald trump, kasich's win in ohio was absolutely crucial. his victory means a contested republican convention in cleveland this summer is very much a possibility. >> abc's david wright is covering kasich's campaign and he spent some time with him. david, good morning. >> reporter: hi, reena and kendis from john kasich headquarters here in ohio. a jubilant mood here.
3:45 am
his home state. we were with him backstage just before he came out. he was shooting hoops. and pretty much shooting the moon that he had pulled it off. the polls as late as tuesday showed him neck and neck with trump here. one of the things that may have helped him is the fact that ohio has an open primary. independent voters can choose to vote in the democratic or republican side. we met voters who were democrats who chose to vote in the republican race because they wanted to block donald trump. the fact that kasich has won his home state ensures that he moves forward in this contest. he thinks that his victory is in part to do with his positive campaign. he was refusing even tuesday to take potshots at donald trump. he now is hoping to become the republican standard bearer for the people hoping to block trump and he now moves forward. the next big contest in arizona. kendis, reena?
