On March 15, there are Republican primaries in Florida (99 winner-take-all delegates), Illinois 69 delegates, Missouri 52 delegates, and Ohio (66 winner-take-all delegates). Rubio, Florida's "favorite son," must win his home state of Florida and Kasich, Ohio's "favorite son," must win his home state of Ohio for these two candidates to remain in the race.
