 Bernie Sanders Wins in Indiana after a close race with Hillary Clinton

Hillary Clinton's hopes of shutting Bernie Sanders down by beating him in Indiana were dashed Tuesday night.

With most of the vote tallied, the U.S. senator was six per cent ahead of the former secretary of state and was awarded the coveted checkmark that designates the winner of a given state.

Bernie Sanders was in the lead with 53 percent to Clinton's 47 percent after a running start from Clinton quickly turned into a sputter.

'I sense a great deal of momentum. I sense some great victories coming,' he said during a hastily convened news conference in New Albany, Indiana.

Acknowledging the state of the race, Sanders said: 'I think that while the path is narrow, and I do not deny that for a moment.'

But he said: 'I think we can pull off one of the great political upsets in the history of the United States and in fact become the nominee for the Democratic Party. And then once we secure that position, I have absolute confidence that we are going to defeat Donald Trump.' 

Donald Trump has become 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.
