Donald Trump Will Be Republican Nominee For President
After an intense too close to call race
Bernie Sanders has emerged as the winner of the
Indiana Democratic primary. Sanders won with 53.3 percent of the vote, according to
The Associated Press, versus
Hillary Clinton's 46.7 percent. He will receive 42 of Indiana's delegates while
Clinton takes 36 delegates.
This is a much needed win for Sanders following a string of losses including the
New York primary and most of the
East Coast primaries.
See original story below.
Regardless of the many and varied insults
Donald Trump and
Ted Cruz lobbed at one another in the hours leading up to Indiana's primary, the New York billionaire still emerged successful.
The Associated Press announced
Trump won by 53.5% on Tuesday. He earned all 57 pledged delegates from the winner-take-all state, bringing his total up to 1,047 of the 1,237 delegates needed to secure the
GOP nomination outright.
The win in Indiana brings him closer to earning that nomination, but it's still not a guarantee. As a result,
Cruz has promised to remain in the race and continue fighting in case the
Republican National Convention becomes contested and he still has a shot at the nomination.
Following the results, Trump tweeted that Cruz might as well just drop out of the presidential nominee race.
Trump's win comes after Cruz and
John Kasich revealed they would team up against their biggest rival in an effort to stop him. Cruz intended to focus his efforts in Indiana, while
Kasich turned his attention to
New Mexico and
Oregon. He'll have to wait a little longer to see if he fares any better against Trump. Oregon heads to the polls on May 17, while New Mexico is one of five states participating in the very last primary on June 7.
Nebraska and
West Virginia vote next on May 10.
