US voters cast ballots in Republican, Democratic primaries
Voters in the US states of Michigan and Mississippi are heading to the polls to cast ballots in primaries to choose Republican and Democratic candidates for the 2016 White House race.
If the polls are to be believed, Republican and Democratic frontrunners Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are likely to further solidify their leads over their rivals on Tuesday.
Later in the day, Republican voters would also cast ballots in Idaho and Hawaii to choose their candidates for the presidential race.
But in terms of delegates, Michigan and Mississippi are the big prizes of the day for the presidential hopefuls.
Republicans are competing for 59 delegates while Democrats are vying for 130 in Michigan.
And 40 delegates are at stake in the Republican contest and 36 in the Democratic primary in Mississippi.
According to polls, Trump is slated to win in Michigan and Mississippi as well as in Idaho. However, John Kasich, the governor of Ohio, is hoping for a surprise in his favor in Michigan.
And on the Democratic side, Clinton is hoping to top Bernie Sanders in Michigan, and especially in Mississippi where represent an important voting bloc.
