Florida Sen. Marco Rubio has finished second in South Carolina’s Republican primary, according to complete but unofficial results.

Rubio edged out Texas Sen. Ted Cruz by less than two-tenths of 1 percentage point.

The results are unofficial, pending the state’s formal confirmation of the outcome. That will take place by next Saturday.

Donald Trump won the South Carolina primary, topping the two freshman senators by roughly 10 percentage points.
