2016 US Presidential Election - Donald Trump becomes presumptive Republican nominee Tuesday May 03,2016

Donald Trump has gone from long-shot contender to the Republican party's presumptive nominee for president with a crushing win in Indiana that forced his main rival Ted Cruz out of the race.

Addressing jubilant supporters at Trump Tower in New York after romping to his seventh straight state-wide victory, the real estate mogul promised them: "We're going to win in November, and we're going to win big, and it's going to be America first."



Donald Trump won at least 51 of 57 possible delegates awarded in Indiana, according to the Associated Press news agency delegate tracker.




His victory in the state pushed him to 1,047 delegates of the 1,237 needed to clinch the nomination, compared with 153 for Kasich.

Ted Cruz had 565 delegates before suspending his campaign.
