Donald Trump has won the Indiana Republican presidential primary,
crushing the hopes of GOP foes who waged a frantic campaign to halt his
march to the party's nomination.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Trump's chief rival,
suspended his presidential campaign hours after Trump was declared the
winner, telling supporters "we left it all on the field in Indiana."
"The voters chose another path. And so with a heavy heart, but with
boundless optimism for the long-term future of our nation, we are
suspending our campaign," he said in remarks that neither mentioned
Trump by name nor offered an endorsement for the man close to capturing
the nomination.
The win and Cruz's exit sets Trump on a likely
path to secure the 1,237 delegates necessary to secure his party's
nomination before the convention in Cleveland this summer. Trump is
poised to easily clear the decisive threshold that Cruz and Ohio Gov.
John Kasich pledged to block from his reach.
