Then he took a victory lap. Trump, addressing reporters at a news conference in Florida—instead of supporters as he typically does on election nights—painted himself as someone who was growing the Republican Party into a potent force that could defeat Clinton in November. He even sounded like a candidate looking toward the general election. “We have expanded the Republican Party,” Trump said. “I am a unifier. Our party is expanding, and all you have to do is take a look at the primary states where I’ve won. … I think we’re going to be more inclusive. I think we’re going to be more unified.” And he made clear he would hit Clinton hard on her use of a private email server if they meet in the general election. “If she’s allowed to run, honestly it’ll be a sad day for this country because what she did was wrong,” Trump said. “Other people have done far less than her and they have paid a very, very big price.” Watch the highlights above. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4244264/super-tuesday-primary-results-donald-trump-victory-speech-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4244264/super-tuesday-primary-results-donald-trump-victory-speech-video/"},"headline":"Donald Trump Calls Himself a 'Unifier' in Super Tuesday Victory Speech","datePublished":"2016-03-02T04:58:13.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T15:32:04.200Z","description":"“We have expanded the Republican Party”","url":"https://time.com/4244264/super-tuesday-primary-results-donald-trump-victory-speech-video/","keywords":["Donald Trump"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0b4bad9b8a753eb4/69887fd9f887dc6e3de94db0/donald-trump-chris-christie-gop-republican-super-tuesday.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0b4bad9b8a753eb4/69887fd9f887dc6e3de94db0/donald-trump-chris-christie-gop-republican-super-tuesday.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Donald Trump in Palm Beach, Florida, USA","caption":"Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks after being introduced by New Jersey Gov.
