Primary Election Day in Indiana: Trump, Sanders win Indiana, Cruz suspends campaign

Cruz needed to win in Indiana to increase his chances of having a contested Republican convention.
Now the RNC says Trump is the presumptive nominee. CNN projected a Trump win in Indiana just a few minutes after the polls closed.
Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders were in a tight race for Indiana's Democratic delegates, but at 9:15 CNN projected Sanders to win Indiana. Indiana has 83 pledged Democratic delegates up for grabs, along with 9 superdelegates.
