MIAMI (AP) — Hillary Clinton has defeated Bernie Sanders by more than 30 points in Florida's Democratic presidential primary.
Early, incomplete returns Tuesday show Clinton winning 65 percent of the vote to Sanders' 32 percent. That means Clinton will take about two-thirds of the state's 214 Democratic delegates.
Clinton was heavily favored to win the Sunshine State. State Democratic Party vice chairman Alan Clendenin says Clinton has built goodwill in Florida since the 1992 election, when the state helped propel Bill Clinton to the Democratic Party nomination.
President Clinton won the state in the 1996 election. The former first lady, senator and secretary of state won the Florida primary in 2008 over Barack Obama in what largely was a symbolic showing because the state didn't get delegates after failing to follow the national party calendar.
