LA PORTE, Ind. (AP) — Ted Cruz is predicting a close finish in tomorrow's Indiana primary, and he's telling supporters, "We need every single vote." He delivered that message to several hundred people who came to see him this morning at a cafe in Osceola. Cruz is holding five events across Indiana today.
Donald Trump is holding a pair of rallies in the state where a victory tomorrow would leave his rivals with few opportunities to block his path to the nomination.
Trump made clear today that he will keep up his accusation that Hillary Clinton is playing gender politics. He said, "We're making a list of the many, many times where it's all about her being a woman." Trump told CNN, "I haven't started on Hillary yet" -- although actually he's been trashing her record for quite some time.
For her part, Clinton told thousands at an NAACP dinner in Detroit yesterday that President Barack Obama's legacy can't be allowed to "fall into Donald Trump's hands" and be consumed by what she called "these voices of hatred." She cited Trump's role in the birther movement that questioned Obama's citizenship.
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has vowed to stay in the Democratic race, though he acknowledged yesterday that he faces an "uphill climb."

Tens of thousands of immigrants are applying for U.S. citizenship in a year when immigration has taken center stage in this year's presidential campaign, especially in the race for the GOP nomination. In interviews, many say the fear of Donald Trump becoming president is motivating many longtime immigrants to apply for citizenship in order to vote. Trump, the GOP front-runner, has made immigration a central theme of his combative campaign to win the Republican nomination. (AP Photo/Jeff Chiu, File) (29 Apr 2016)
