Businessman and former reality tv star Donald J. Trump took his biggest step yet towards becoming the Republican nominee for President after a huge win in Indiana led to his main rival dropping out of the race.
Trump won the Hoosier state’s primary, held Tuesday night, by a landslide 17 points- 53%-36% for Ted Cruz. The victory in the winner take all primary handed him all the state’s 51 delegates, making it virtually impossible for any remaining candidate to stop him from garnering the 1,237 delegates needed to win the nomination on the first ballot at the convention.
