Reince Priebus, Republican Party chief, declared Tuesday that Donald Trump will be the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, after his main rival Ted Cruz dropped out of the race.
"Donald Trump will be presumptive @GOP nominee, we all need to unite and focus on defeating @HillaryClinton," Priebus said, virtually assuring the billionaire real estate mogul will represent the Republicans in the November election.
Meanwhile, Ted Cruz dropped out of the White House race on Tuesday after suffering a crushing defeat in Indiana's primary, leaving the road wide open for Trump to seize the Republican nomination.
"From the beginning, I've said that I would continue on as long as there was a viable path to victory. Tonight, I'm sorry to say, it appears that path has been foreclosed," the Texas senator told supporters in Indianapolis.
"Together, we left it all on the field in Indiana," said Cruz, whose withdrawal leaves the low-polling John Kasich as Trump's sole challenger.
"We gave it everything we've got, but the voters chose another path. And so with a heavy heart, but with boundless optimism for the long-term future of our nation, we are suspending our campaign," he said.
