Hillary Clinton has won the South Carolina Democratic presidential primary, with polls projecting a large margin between her and rival Bernie Sanders.

Victory for Hillary was widely expected but it gives her momentum ahead of the “Super Tuesday” primaries in 11 states next week, reports the BBC.

“Tomorrow this campaign goes national,” she told cheering supporters.

Sanders has accepted defeat but said the campaign was just beginning.

It is Hillary Clinton’s third victory in four contests, after wins in Iowa and Nevada. She lost to Sanders in New Hampshire.

Eight years ago, she lost the South Carolina primary overwhelmingly to then Senator Barack Obama.

It was a different story this time. Soon after polls closed she told supporters: “You sent a message – in America when we stand together, there is no barrier too big to break.”

On the Republican side, billionaire Donald Trump leads a field that has dwindled to five from 12 a month ago.

He won the Nevada caucus on Wednesday by a wide margin – correspondents say he is beginning to look unstoppable.

In her victory speech, Hillary aimed a dig at the man tipped to be the Republican presidential candidate.

“Despite what you hear, we don’t need to make America great again. America has never stopped being great,” she said, referencing Trump’s campaign slogan.
