Donald Trump will be the Republican presidential nominee

By THE DATA TEAM

IT FINALLY happened. John Kasich, the last challenger to Donald Trump for the Republican presidential nomination after Ted Cruz called it quits last night, will end his campaign today (May 4th), according to multiple news outlets.

While he has long been the front-runner, punters’ faith in Mr Trump wavered briefly in early April when he suffered a sizeable loss to Ted Cruz in the Wisconsin primary. Those sceptics, like so many others this election cycle, were quickly proven foolish. Mr Trump has now won the past seven primaries convincingly, with well over 50% of the vote in each state. In Indiana, which voted on May 3rd, Mr Trump topped Cruz 53.3% to 36.7%. Donald Trump will become the Republican presidential nominee for the 2016 election.
