After many defeats in 2016, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said he believed he would carry his home state before its March 15 primary.
Instead, he lost mightily to then-candidate Donald Trump, coming up 18 points short of him. Rubio then ended his bid for the Republican nomination.
Then-Ohio Gov. John Kasich, did beat Trump in his home state — the same day Rubio had his fateful defeat. Kasich continued to campaign until May 3.
Bloomberg and Biden will experience their own home state elections in April, if either are still running. Buttigieg could enjoy home state support in May.
