Donald Trump sealed the Republican nomination today, winning Indiana 53-37 over Ted Cruz with just 8 percent for John Kasich. After the loss, Cruz dropped out of the Republican nomination contest.
Kasich has only won one state so far, his home state of Ohio. With Kasich as Trump’s only official remaining opponent, Trump is very likely to easily win every remaining state, and will decisively win the 1,237 delegates required.
At this point, where the Republican contest effectively ended, Trump had won 1,045 delegates, including 1,011 pledged delegates. Cruz had 580 delegates, and Kasich 154. Trump had 51.6 percent of all delegates allocated so far, and Cruz 28.9 percent. Trump won all of Indiana’s 57 delegates, which are allocated winner takes all by statewide and Congressional District.
