Excerpt:
Ted Cruz suspended his presidential campaign Tuesday night after losing Indiana, leaving Donald Trump as the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee.
Stunned supporters in Indianapolis shouted “no!” as Cruz announced he no longer has a path to the GOP presidential nomination.
"Tonight, I'm sorry to say, it appears that path has been foreclosed,” Cruz said. “Together we left it all on the field in Indiana. We gave it everything we 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."
Cruz did not mention Trump in his farewell speech.
Trump will end the night fewer than 200 delegates shy of the 1,237 needed to win the nomination outright.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich is still in the race, but he has been an afterthought and still trails Marco Rubio in delegates. Rubio has been out of the race for weeks.
