The primaries in Indiana radically changed the picture in the republican camp. Ted Cruz left the presidential race after losing the state. Donald Trump then became the only potential candidate for the Republican nomination.

John Caseyk, Trump's last remaining opponent, has no chance of getting the number of delegates needed for the nomination. Trump has now enlisted the support of 1053 delegates from those required to nominate 1237, while Kasic has only 156 delegates.

The leadership of the Republican Party has already called Donald Trump a potential nominee and called on the party to unite in the fight against Hillary Clinton, who also practically guaranteed herself a nomination from the Democrats.

Republican Indiana Prize Result

In Indiana, Donald Trump won a landslide victory in the Republican primary. The construction magnate defeated his closest rival, Texas Senator Ted Cruz: Trump won 53,3%, Cruz - 36,6%.

Speaking in Indianapolis, a senator from the state of Texas acknowledged that he no longer has a real prospect of nominating his party and halts the campaign.

“We poured ourselves into this campaign, but voters chose a different path,” Cruz said sadly.

Trump honored his defeated rival with conciliatory praise.

“Ted Cruz—I don’t know if he likes me or not—but he’s a hell of a competitor,” he said.

Formally, Ohio Governor John Keysic continues to participate in the primaries, however, he is far behind Trump in the number of delegates and has almost no chance to catch up with him.

After Trump scored a percentage of the vote in Indiana and Cruz got 53, the billionaire had to get delegates to his piggy bank to get a nomination, but Cruz’s decision to leave the race removed the last major obstacle.

Results of the Democrats' Primaries

At the same time, Vermont senator Bernie Sanders defeated Clinton with a small margin on the Democratic primary in Indiana - 52% versus 47%, but this result will not slow down the ex-Secretary of State’s nomination from the Democratic Party.

Clinton approached voting in Indiana, having 92% delegates necessary for her in her assets.

“I know the Clinton campaign thinks this campaign is over. They're wrong,” Sanders said Tuesday night.

But Clinton has already turned her attention to the general election.

Anticipating Clinton's general election message, campaign manager John Podesta said electing Trump as president poses "too much of a risk."

Trump criticized Clinton's tenure as US foreign policy chief from 2009 to 2013, saying she "slept through" the 2012 terrorist attack on the US diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, which killed four American, including the United States Ambassador to this country.

Donald Trump also told his supporters that he could defeat Clinton in the states that traditionally vote for the Democrats - despite existing data from public opinion polls, сообщает "Voice of America".
