The chairman of the Republican National Committee, Reince Priebus, called Trump “the presumptive GOP nominee,” using the political jargon for candidates who have yet to arithmetically become so.
Unlike the Republican system, however, Democratic primaries share out delegates proportionally, meaning that the Indiana results barely alter Clinton’s solid lead over her rival.
After Cruz’s announcement, Trump made an appearance of his own at his Manhattan skyscraper, the Trump Tower.
Before Indiana, the former state secretary was already caressing the Democratic nomination with 2,165 out of the 2,383 delegates she needs, including the so-called superdelegates who can vote for whomever they want at the July convention.
Cruz is an orthodox conservative with affinities to the Tea Party, and an ardent champion of constitutional limits and religious freedom.
