During the primaries held in South Carolina for the Republicans and in Nevada for the Democrats on 20 February 2016, both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton came out as winners. For both it means a second victory, which increases the chances to secure the Republican and Democratic nominations for the Presidency in 2016. While Trump with 33% of the votes had a double digit lead over Marco Rubio that won 23% of the votes, Clinton established a narrow victory by winning 52,6% of the votes as Bernie Sanders got 47,3% of the votes. As a result, an eventual face-off between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton becomes more likely in 2016, although it still remains to be seen who will come out as winners during next primaries, especially during the so called ''Super Tuesday'' primaries hold in March during which most delegates can be won.
