exas Senator Ted Cruz is not expected to win any of the five states voting Tuesday, so he's holding a campaign rally instead in an Indiana gym. Indiana, which votes next week, is one of Cruz's last best chances to slow Trump. (April 26) AP continue.....
INDIANAPOLIS — For the next week, Indiana's May 3 primary stands alone on the calendar, making it a magnet for presidential candidates
.But the importance of Indiana's nominating contest goes well beyond its place on the schedule. It has emerged as a must-win state for Sen. Ted Cruz and Republicans trying to block front-runner Donald Trump from locking up the nomination. And it is one of Democrat Bernie Sanders' dwindling opportunities to stand in the way of secretary of State Hillary Clinton's march toward the nomination.
Trump and Clinton enter Indiana with strong momentum and are increasingly prepping for a potential fall campaign against each other after building on their sizable delegate leads in Tuesday night's primaries. Trump scored widely anticipated wins Tuesday in five Northeastern states: Pennsylvania, Maryland, Connecticut, Delaware and Rhode Island. On the Democratic side, Clinton won four of those states, while Sanders picked up Rhode Island.
