Marco Rubio Winner: Final Results, Puerto Rico Republican Primary
Marco Rubio bested Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and John Kasich in Puerto Rico's GOP primary Sunday, according to an early call from the AP.
San Juan, Puerto Rico - Florida Sen. Marco Rubio locked in a win from Puerto Rico's Republican presidential primary Sunday, as called by the Associated Press shortly after polls closed.
While the island territory does not vote in the general election for president, it does get a voice in the contest for Democrat and Republican presidential nominee. Democrats do not caucus here until June 6.
With 100 percent of the territory reporting, Rubio won by a wide margin, with 71 percent of the vote, according to Decision Desk HQ. Billionaire businessman Donald Trump trailed far behind with 13 percent for second place.
