Media reports say that with 21 percent of the Republican vote counted, Trump has secured victory with 65.8 percent. Nikki Haley followed with 29.5 percent. Trump has beaten Haley in all of their contests so far, ramping up his advantage for winning the party's presidential nomination.

The reports say Biden also secured victory by winning 79.5 percent, with 17 percent of the Democratic vote counted. Lacking any major rival, he is expected to win the party's nomination in its national convention this summer.

These votes have reached 14.9 percent and observers say the situation may affect Biden's re-election campaign.
