Indiana Voters Head to Polls in Key Primary

HeadlineMay 03, 2016

Indiana voters head to the polls today in a primary contest seen as pivotal for Republican front-runner Donald Trump’s path to the nomination. Texas Senator Ted Cruz has sought to derail Trump’s lead in Indiana. Campaigning in Marion alongside Indiana Governor Mike Pence, Cruz confronted a Trump supporter.

Sen. Ted Cruz: “America is a better country…”

Trump supporter: “Without you.”

Sen. Ted Cruz: “Thank you for those kind sentiments. Let me point out, I have treated you respectfully the entire time, and a question that everyone here should ask…”

Trump supporter: “Are you Canadian? Are you Canadian?”

Ohio Governor John Kasich backed off campaigning in Indiana under a deal with Cruz aimed at blocking Trump’s nomination. Meanwhile, polls show Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders in a close race in Indiana. Campaigning in Kentucky Monday, Clinton said she would put her husband, former President Bill Clinton, to work on her jobs plan.

Hillary Clinton: “I’ve told my husband he’s got to come out of retirement and be in charge of this, because, you know, he’s got more ideas a minute than anybody I know. You’ve got to put people back to work and make it—make it happen.”
