Donald Trump won the Louisiana primary on Super Saturday by a significant margin. 

This was Trump's second win Saturday evening. He and Sen. Ted Cruz split victories between four states, with Trump winning Kentucky and Louisiana and Cruz winning Kansas and Maine.

Despite this split, Trump still has a significant edge over Cruz when it comes to delegates. 

Trump tends to do well with Southern evangelical voters

Former Sen. Rick Santorum and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who both fared well with evangelicals, won the two previous Louisiana presidential primary elections.
