The Republican National Committee plans to penalize South Carolina Republicans for holding an early primary by stripping the state party of half of its delegates. Without the penalty, the state party would have 44 pledged and three unpledged delegates.

California Congressman Duncan Hunter on Saturday decided to pull the plug on his Presidential campaign, which never gained any traction.

As for the Democrats, Hillary Clinton topped Barack Obama in the popular vote in the Nevada Caucuses, though the Illinois Senator may still end up winning more delegates.
