The race was called shortly after polls in the panhandle were closed.
Rubio won Minnesota, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia.
In a tearful speech that was at one point interrupted by a heckler, Rubio thanked his supporters, while acknowledging that 2016 was not his year and that he would be suspending his campaign.
