Its wednesday may 4th. Announcer from abc news, this is world news now. Kudos on your pronunciation of fitty cent. Put the accent in the right place. I was cringing but i was able to pronounce it properly. Did you see the headlines this morning in new york . Oh. Clever. Yeah. Hoosier daddy . Hoosier daddy from the post. And the daily news puts the Republican Party in a coffin. In case you didnt know that ted cruz dropped out of the race. Here it is. I like the play on hoosier dad daddy. Very clever. And lets talk about that a little bit. Ted cruz has quit the race for the white house, clearing the path for donald trump. Yeah. Cruz was counting on voters across indiana to keep him afloat, but instead they delivered a knockout punch. It was a commanding victory for trump. Look at the numbers. 53 of the vote, compared to 37 for cruz. Trump also picked up most if not all of indianas republican delegates, leaving him about 200 shy of formally securing the nomination, and cruz could no longer deny the delegate math. Together we left it all on the field in indiana. We gave it everything weve got. But the voters chose another path. And so with a heavy heart but with boundless optimism for the longterm future of our nation, we are suspending our campaign. Donald trump actually heaped praise on cruz last night, calling him tough and a smart competitor with an amazing future. Cruzs decision to give up the president ial bid came after weeks of promising to take down trump in a contested convention. Lets go now to abcs tom llamas for more on that. Good morning, tom. Reporter kendis and diane, a huge moment in this campaign in the gop race for president. Senator ted cruz dropping out of the race after a stinging loss in indiana. With tears in his eyes cruz said there was no longer a path for him to the nomination. His own supporters with tears in their eyes screaming out no, no, no. But cruz said there was no longer a path for him but he will continue to fight for liberty. Now the chairman of the rnc saying its a time rally around donald trump, that he will be the presumptive nominee, its time to unite against Hillary Clinton. Were going after Hillary Clinton. She will not she will not be a great president. She will not be a good president. She will be a poor president. Reporter tom llamas, abc news. Now back to you. Speaking of Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, sanders muchneeded victory in indiana. Boosted by an influx of young white liberals. Sanders ran competitively as well with Hillary Clinton among nonwhites under the age of 45. Polls show clintons main weakness continues to be concerns about her honesty. Sanders managed to defeat clinton 52 to 48 . But they will split indianas delegates, leaving clinton with more than 2,200 overall. That means she only needs to pick up 17 of the remaining delegates to win the nomination. And the clinton camp is already turning its attention to the general election, saying that trump was too big of a risk to be president. Theyll first need to win over sanders supporters, but sanders is saying not so fast. We get the latest right now from the democrats, from abcs mary alice parks. Reporter Bernie Sanders overnight combative and unwavering, saying his win in indiana will provide the momentum needed to keep his campaign alive. I understand that secretary clinton thinks that this campaign is over. Ive got some bad news for her. Reporter but mathematically it is now impossible for sanders to clinch the nomination with pledged delegates alone. But he says he still thinks he has a path to victory. Sanders laughed at the idea that a prolonged primary could hurt democrats in november. Instead he said he had zero doubt it was a good thing he was staying in and that he was invigorating voters. Sanders will campaign in kentucky today and then is off to west virginia. Mary alice parks, abc news, elizabeth, indiana. Mary alice, thank you.
