John Kasich

Donald Trump has become the presumptive GOP presidential candidate after both his rivals dropped out of the race, but a number of Republicans are working on a hail Mary.

Ted Cruz denied any alliance with fellow GOP presidential candidate John Kasich, just days after announcing that they were forming an anti-Trump coalition.

Former U.S. House Speaker John Boehner is not a fan of presidential hopeful Ted Cruz, and used some strong words to describe him during an evening talk at Stanford University on April 27.

Tuesday, April 26, Donald Trump won majorities of the vote across all five northeastern states that voted.

Jeff Weaver, the campaign manager for Sanders, said that his candidate would stay in the race all the way to the convention even if Clinton had the pledged delegate and vote lead at the conclusion of the primary season.

Two weeks ago Bernie Sanders and Ted Cruz seemed to have all the momentum in the presidential race. But on Tuesday night the narrative changed once again. So what do the New York results mean for the 2016 election?

The possibility that the Republican primary race could end in a contested convention is a journalist’s dream and one that the media has speculated on during every electoral cycle in recent memory.

The U.S. primary season has slowly winnowed down the field of presidential candidates. “To date, the campaign debate has been dominated by multiple themes that could ultimately impact people outside the United States—trade, immigration, and terrorism, to name just a few,” explains Bruce Stokes, director of global economic attitudes at the Pew Research Center. Hillary Clinton, former U.S. secretary of state is Democratic Party’s front-runner after winning contests in five states on March 15. Donald Trump, real estate developer and television reality-show celebrity, leads among Republicans. A sharp divide between parties is reflected in public-opinion surveys: 31 percent of those polled cite trade as a top priority while 58 percent regard trade as beneficial for the country; half cite immigration as a priority while majorities of Democrats and Republicans support allowing undocumented immigrants to remain in the country. Terrorism shifted as a top priority, from 1 percent of respondents in 2014 to 75 percent early this year. Republicans and Democrats represent just over half of the U.S. electorate, and independents, about 40 percent, will help decide which candidate has the strength and skills to handle a range of global issues.
