DHAKA: Donald Trump has won presidential primaries in all five US states, while Hillary Clinton sweeps four out of five that voted on Tuesday (April 26).

Trump believes being the Republican "presumptive nominee" after victories in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island.

The results brought him closer to the number of delegates that he needs before the party's national convention in July.

Donald Trump’s night is shaping up to be the latter, as he steamrolled his opposition in all five mid-Atlantic states.

For the Democrats, Hillary was denied a clean sweep by Bernie Sanders, BBC publishes this report on Wednesday (April 27).

However, the New Yorker still has work to do to clinch the Republican nomination, but after his latest performance such a prospect seems increasingly likely.
