The Democratic and Republican primaries in Missouri remained too close to call at 2 a.m. ET Wednesday morning, with just two-tenths of one percent separating the top candidates in both races.
While NBC News projected Democrat Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump the “apparent winners” in their respective races, the other networks said the race remained too close to definitively call for either candidate.
With 99.9 percent of precincts reporting, Clinton led 49.6 percent to Sanders’ 49.4 percent in the Democratic race, while Trump was leading Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 40.8 to Cruz’s 40.6 percent of the vote.
CNN reported election officials in Missouri had finished counting for the night and would begin tallying provisional and absentee ballots in the morning.
With the exception of Missouri hanging in the balance, Clinton won every Democratic contest Tuesday. On the GOP side, Trump’s perfect record was sullied only by a second-place finish to sitting Gov. John Kasich in Ohio.
