WASHINGTON (AP) — Marco Rubio has won the Republican presidential caucuses in Washington D.C.
It’s the third presidential contest victory for the Florida senator. Earlier this month, Rubio won the GOP caucuses in Minnesota and the party’s primary in Puerto Rico.
Rubio picked up 10 delegates with his Saturday caucus win in the nation’s capital. Runner-up John Kasich was just 50 votes behind Rubio, and the Ohio governor will get nine delegates.
None of the other candidates in the race won enough votes to earn any delegates.

Yay! Congrats, whoever you are!
Ahhh, a corrupt Washington insider!
Game-changer!
Rubio: I am not sure what to say. I am used to winning when I come in third. This is all very confusing.
Unfortunately for Rubio, if he loses Florida, this win will only make it worse. “Rubio: choice of the Washington, DC establishment – Literally!”
I’m not saying that’s fair. Just saying that’s how it will be spun by anyone who is not pro-Rubio.
