But one of those rivals rolled out a running mate. John yang reports, on this campaign day. Its time to shake the rust off americas Foreign Policy. Its time to invite new voices and new visions into the fold. S reporter donald trump, fresh from a decisive sweep of tuesdays primaries, deliveredim his first major speech on Foreign Policy. Ted cruz answered with a headline of his own, namingin former rival, Carly Fiorina, as his running mate. This ticket is about the future, it is about our children, it is about our grandchildren. The stakes of this election, we are not simply waging on a sporting contest. Reporter cruz is banking on next weeks indiana primary to give him new life. Trump now has more than three quarters of the delegates hele needs for a firstballot victory. Ll last night, he declared himself the presumptive nominee, andel took aim at the democrats likely standard bearer, Hillary Clinton. Well, i think the only card she has is the womans card. She has nothing else going for her. El frankly, if Hillary Clinton were a man, i dont think she would get 5 of the vote. Reporter clinton answered the jibe after winning four states putting her 90 of thet way to clinching the nomination. Well, if fighting for Womens Health care and paid familyom leave and equal pay is playing the woman card, then deal me in reporter but Bernie Sanders is still not ready to throw in his hand. The vermont senator spoke today in west lafayette, indiana, today. We are in this campaign to win and to become the democratir nominee. Reporter at the same time, sanders told the new yorkt times he plans to lay off hundreds of Campaign Workers any focus on winning california. For the pbs newshour, im john yang.

But in todays arguments, both liberal and conservative justices suggested the federal bribery law is overbroad. A decision could come in june. Woodruff former housedr speaker Dennis Hastert was sentenced today to 15 months in federal prison, for paying hush money to cover up sexual abuse. The Illinois Republican admitted he abused at least one teenagert as a wrestling coach. In high school. He told a federal court in chicago l what i did was wrong and i regret it. We will hear about hasterts day in court, later in the program. O sreenivasan the fight over federal funding to control the zika virus will likely go unresolved before next weeks congressional recess. The white house asked for 1. 9 billion back in february. But House Speaker paul ryan suggested today that may be more than necessary. The administration has a bit of a track record of over requesting what they need. So we will sit down with the appropriators to figure out the best way forward, to make sure that were good stewards of the taxpayers money and to make sur that we have what we need to combat and stay ahead of thed zika virus issue. T sreenivasan at the white house, press secretary josh earnest fired back, saying the s delay is putting the country at risk. You had the director of the National Institutes of healthhe and a high ranking official from the centers of disease controlfr standing at this podium about three weeks ago and say they did not have the resources they needed that should be used to fully prepare for the onset of the zika virus. Sreenivasan zika has been linked to a rare birth defect,n and is spreading rapidly through the americas. Woodruff for a second day, s Severe Weather system menaced a large swath of the nation. The threat of tornadoes waned, but kansas city suffered significant flooding early today. And winds of 60 miles an hour tore through the greater houston area, blowing trees onto houses.

It happened at a security checkpoint between the west bank and jerusalem. Police said they fired after the woman pulled a knife on an a officer. They said they found knives on the boys body as well. Woodruff the only surviving suspect in novembers terroristn attacks in paris was extradited to france today. Salah abdeslam is the alleged logistical planner of the assault that left 130 people dead. He was taken to a paris court after an earlymorning transfer from brussels, and his lawyer said he plans to cooperate. translated he gave a spontaneous statement to thega investigating judge, and he insisted he would explain himself later. The judge put him under formal investigation on charges of murder, complicity of murder with a terrorist organization,rd holding weapons and explosivesat and kidnapping. Woodruff abdeslam was captured in brussels last month. Sreenivasan back in this l country, its being called the biggest gang crackdown ever inhe new york city. In predawn raids, federal agents and Police Arrested scores of suspects. They said two rival gangs have terrorized housing projects in the bronx. In all, 120 people are being charged. Woodruff the latest nations report card is in, and it shows high school senior, are losing ground. The u. S. Department of Education Reports that average math scores dropped last year for the firstc time since assessments began in 1992. Reading scores were flat, but theyve dropped five points since 1992. As a result, only 37 of all seniors were judged College Ready in math and reading. Sreenivasan the Federal Reserve today left shorttermra Interest Rates unchanged for s now.

Woodruff wall street took the feds news in stride. The Dow Jones Industrial average gained 51 points to close at 18,041. The nasdaq fell 25 points, as apple slumped 6 , and the s p 500 added three. Sreenivasan still to come on the newshour is it game over for ted cruz and john kasich . Donald trump calls for a hard line on negotiations abroad; former House SpeakerDennis Hastert sentenced in a hush money scandal, and much more. Woodruff to dig into last nights Election Results and discuss the races dramatic shift going into the last leg of the primary contest, we aree joined once again by susan page of u. S. A. Today, and reid wilson of the morning consult. And welcome back to both of you. Big night last night. Reid, how did the results lastt night change the trajectory of this race . And lets start with the republicans. On the republican side, donald trump swept just about a everything he possibly could have. The only place where john kasich or ted cruz picked up any delegates who will be pledged to them at the convention was in rhode island. And there was just a small hand full of delegates. More dramatically, i think there were some reports that suggest that about 39 of the unpledged delegates that came out of pennsylvania are going to back donald trump on the first ballot. That puts him a lot closer to a glide path towards the nomination than he was just a few days ago, even after his big wins earlier this month. The problem for trump, though, is that coming up in may, hes still about 250 delegates short of the number he needs. But in the five contests in may, there are only 199 delegates available. So if ted cruz and john kasich want to stick around, they sure can, least until june. Woodruff so, susan, where does this leave ted cruz and john kasich . I think it leaves them in a predicament. Donald trump is now he called himself last not the presumptive nominee. Now, maybe were just a step short of that, but he is it the likely nominee. He is likely to be able to get a majority of Convention Delegates on the first ballot or come so close it is impossible politically to deny him the nomination. You saw him reflect that dade taid by giving a big speech on Foreign Policy we never heard before. You also saw ted cruz trying to get back in the story by doing something that seemed a little premature, which was announcing his woodruff and what about that, reid . Normally, the nominee of the party waits until either the convention or right before the convention. Ted cruz is clearly trying to get some headlines. And it looks like this may have been a little bit rushed. Remember, it was just a few days ago when the Cruz Campaign leaked that they were vitvet, Carly Fiorina. The Vice President ial vetting process takes weeks and weeks to go through tax records and check interviews for controversial statements. This is, clearly, is ted cruz trying to change the conversation from donald trump being the presumptive nominee to some kind of twoperson race. Im not sure how successful he was. You know, the one thing it did do, were now the talking about his Vice President ial pick and whether it makes sense, and what will she do, rather than talking about the fact as of last night he does not have a mathematical way to be nominated in the first ballot. Its now mathematically impossible for him to go to the convention with a majority of delegates. Woodruff his hope, youre saying, is if theres a contested convention. But does the pick of Carly Fiorina help him in any way, susan . She doesnt have any delegates. It helps him maybe with todays news cycle. It may help him a bit in california. You remember in 2010 she ran for the senate in california. Thats that big, final primary. But this field i think just a little desperate. I think one way in which Carly Fiorina will help is she has been one of the more effective surrogates to attack donald trump. When she took him on head to head earlier in this campaign process, you remember rick perry attacked him and then dropped out. Boab jindal attacked him and then dropped out. Carly fireinafs the only candidate to attack donald trump and she got boosted to the main stage in the second debate. As somebody who can draw a contrast with donald trump, thats where she helps. Woodruff she also had tough words to say about ted cruz early in the campaign which we were hearing again. Quickly, susan, you brought up donalDonald Trumps speech todan Foreign Policy. Are we learning Something Different from this, as you say, first major speech on the subject . The speech was more prepared than the previous comments hes made on Foreign Policy. He actually had a vipt vipt. He read it off teleprompter. He does that rarely. But it was consistent with what he has said about Foreign Policy issues in the past, and in that way, at odds with a lot of traditional Foreign Policy, especially in the republican party. Ung it was a natural thing for him to do as he prepares to run in a general election against Hillary Clinton. Woodruff lets move over to the democrats, reid. Hillary clinton won four of theh five states last night. Of Bernie Sanders picks up rhode island. Where does this race stand . We learned today that Bernie Sanders is and we heard that in john yangs report is telling some of his staffers they wont be staying on the payroll any longer. Where does he go from here . So, like the republican side, Hillary Clinton is as close to the democratic nomination as donald trump is actually, shes a little closer. Shes about 200 delegation shierng but there are only about 226 delegates that are going to be awarded in may. So if Bernie Sanders does want to stick around, he can, and essentially, wait until the very last several days of the race before Hillary Clinton reaches that 2,383 delegates she needs. But sanders problem is while hes raised a lot of money hes spent a lot of money, too. He spent 46 million last month. And though he raised more than 40 million, he is still bleeding money. I think thats what the staff departures are about, trying to serve as long as possible as the momentum starts to fade the donations will start to fade, too. You have seen him pivot from a person who has a chance to win the nomination to figure out what his role is going to be. He wants to push for a progressive platform. He want to affect the partys stance and Hillary Clintons stance on regulating wall street or paying for College Tuition for young people. Hes got a big floal this party. But i think you can see him in his comments and the statement he put out last night he understands his role in this fight is changing now that Hillary Clinton is on a clear path to be the nominee. Woodruff susan, what does Hillary Clinton need to do at this point . She needs Bernie Sanders to get on her side. You know, hes gotten 70 of the votes of millennials. And, you know, those voters i dont think would naturally go to trump if they dont like clinton. But they might stay home. So i think she needs sanders to embrace her and to give her some of the enthusiasm hes been able to engender on the left side of the democratic party. Woodruff is that something he can do, reid . Can Bernie Sanders say to these young people everybody else who has been enthusiastic atticly showing up at his rallies, now i want you to turn around and vote for Hillary Clinton . Its not something he has done a lot in the past. Bernie sanders does not have a long track record of working for other democrats around the rest of the country, though he had done some fundraising before his president ial campaign. What i think sanders is most likely to be is give as much of a blessing as he possibly can. Lets not forget that if clinton is the nominee and democrats take back the senate, he gets a pretty prominent committee chairmanship. On the other hand, though, clinton is going to try to mobilize these voters by pointing out her contrasts with donald trump. Negative advertising is something voarpts say they hate but it works. Thats why well see a lot of it this year, especially when youre contrasting someone like Hillary Clinton with donald trump. Woodruff susan, quickly, he said he is staying until nuntil the platform. I think hes guaranteed to stay until the california primary on june 7 as Hillary Clinton did in 2008. Whether he goes to the convention in a disruptive role. I dont think so. I think he is am category around to the idea he doesnt want to create problems in defeating donald trump in november. Woodruff susan page, reid wilson, thank you both. Thank you. Woodruff appreciate it. Woodruff and now, we return to donald trump and the speech he gave this morning in downtown washington, which laid out his Foreign Policy vision. Here are some excerpts. My Foreign Policy will always put the interests of the american people, and american security, above all else. Has to be first. Has to be. That will be the foundation of every decision that i will make. After the cold war, our Foreign Policy veered badly off course. We went from mistakes in iraq to egypt to libya, to president obamas line in the sand in syria. Each of these actions have helped to throw the region into chaos, and gave isis the spac
