Hillary Clinton's triumphant Tuesday

Hillary Clinton's triumphant victory speech Tuesday night sent a clear message to Donald Trump: Bring it on.

The former secretary of state emerged from "Super Tuesday 3" with at least four key victories in Ohio, Illinois, Florida and North Carolina and roughly 300 more delegates than her Democratic rival, Bernie Sanders. In Missouri, Clinton has a narrow lead over her rival, though the race is still too close to call.

In all, it was a jubilant evening for Clinton and her campaign after spending months fighting tooth-and-nail to keep in check Sanders' insurgency in check.

"We are moving closer to securing the Democratic Party nomination and winning this election in November!" Clinton said in her victory speech to supporters in West Palm Beach, Florida, her voice noticeably hoarse. "Because of all of you and our supporters across the country, our campaign has earned more votes than any other candidate — Democrat or Republican."
