Hillary Clinton won a symbolic victory Tuesday in Nebraska, taking 59 percent of the primary vote and rival Bernie Sanders getting 40 percent.

Democrats in the Cornhusker State held a presidential caucus in March, with Sanders emerging victorious. The two Democratic candidates appeared on the state's primary ballot on Tuesday, as voters went to the polls to make their choice in the GOP race.

In the March caucus, Sanders won 57 percent of the vote to Clinton's 42 percent, taking 15 delegates to Clinton's 10.

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump also won Tuesday in Nebraska.

The last man standing in the GOP race also won West Virginia's primary on Tuesday as he marches to the nomination.

In a Tuesday night statement, Trump touted his wins.

"It is a great honor to have won both West Virginia and Nebraska, especially by such massive margins. My time spent in both states was a wonderful and enlightening experience for me. I learned a lot, and that knowledge will be put to good use towards the creation of businesses, jobs, and the strengthening and revival of their economies."
