US election 2016: Trump wins South Carolina, as Clinton takes Nevada

VIDEO: Donald Trump was flanked by his wife and daughter at his victory speech

Donald Trump has won the South Carolina primary in the Republican race for president, cementing his status as the man to beat for his party's nomination.

In the Democratic contest, Hillary Clinton beat Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders in a tight race in Nevada.

Both results will be key ahead of the "Super Tuesday" round on 1 March, when a dozen more states make their choice.

The Trump victory claimed a major scalp when former Florida Governor Jeb Bush dropped out of the race.

He finished a distant fourth, days after his brother, former President George W Bush, made a rare political appearance to boost his flagging campaign.

Republican senators Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio were locked in a battle for second place in the state.

Hillary Clinton is breathing a sigh of relief, while the Republican faithful wonder where their party is headed.

The former secretary of state has now put a disheartening defeat in New Hampshire behind her. A loss in Nevada could have sent her campaign reeling. Instead she heads to what should be a friendly reception in South Carolina next week with the possibility of starting a winning streak that she could ride to the nomination.

For Republicans, Donald Trump is the one boasting a winning streak. He has a second-place finish in Iowa and double-digit victories in New Hampshire and now in South Carolina.

If this was the CV of any other candidate, the nomination would likely be secure. The prospect of Mr Trump as the Republican standard-bearer, however, may be too much for some in the party to stomach.

Ted Cruz may yet beat the New York billionaire in the South, and Marco Rubio may consolidate establishment support and pull ahead in the winner-take-all states that vote later in March.

With Jeb Bush dropping out, it's a scenario that could unfold - it is a glimmer of hope, but that's all mainstream Republicans have at this point.

Why Clinton and Sanders were both winners (and losers)
