Clinton surges ahead

WASHINGTON (AP) — At least for Hillary Clinton, it’s been a super Tuesday.

She has won state primaries in Florida, Ohio and North Carolina.

In a victory speech, she praised rival Bernie Sanders for a vigorous challenge, but directed most of her focus on Donald Trump.

Without mentioning the billionaire by name, Clinton said the next president would have to unite the country, lay out specific plans and make positive changes.
