Marco Rubio Wins Washington DC Caucus, NBC News Projects

Marco Rubio will win the Washington, D.C., caucus Saturday, NBC News projects.

It will mark Florida senator's third win in the presidential race. Rubio previously won the Minnesota caucus and the Puerto Rico primary.

Rubio got 37 percent, followed by Ohio Gov. John Kasich at 36 percent. Donald Trump got 14 percent and Ted Cruz got 12 percent, with 100 percent of the vote in.

Rubio campaign spokesman Alex Conant said on Twitter after the projection that the district is "embracing the future."

Trump is the Republican front-runner. He had 457 delegates before Saturday's caucus, and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is in second with 364 delegates. Those numbers will change after delegates are allocated from D.C.'s caucus.
