The billionaire hotelier vowed to “go after” Democrat frontrunner Hilary Clinton.
Clinton also pulled in a series of wins on the biggest day of state-by-state primary voting.
Trump said: “I am a unifier. Once we get all this finished, I'm going after one person - Hillary Clinton.”
US networks projected Trump and Clinton won six states each, while 12 states were voting.
Trump swept up Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Tennessee and Virginia.
His Democratic counterpart took Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.
He also proposed deporting 11 million illegal immigrants and slapping a temporary ban on Muslims entering the country.
But while his campaign has confounded many Republican leaders, the New York real estate developer cites his high poll numbers as proof he is not dividing the party but expanding its ranks.
He preached unity as he looked beyond the day's voting to campaign in Ohio, which votes on March 15.
With a string of victories on Tuesday, Trump would expand his strong lead over Ted Cruz, Senator Marco Rubio, Ohio Governor John Kasich and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson.
