Live Blog: All Eyes on Indiana As Presidential Race Grows Even Tighter

2:05 p.m. PST: Another Tuesday, another primary. This time, all eyes are on one state: Indiana. Voters will head to the polls until they close at 6 p.m. local time. A quick refresher of where the (remaining) candidates stand…
On the Republican side: Donald Trump currently leads Ted Cruz in the polls, and Indiana is seen as Cruz’s last chance to steal the nomination. A Cruz victory in Indiana may make it easier for a contested convention this summer. A Trump win, however, would make Cruz’s path extremely difficult – as Vox notes, a Cruz loss today would give “very little reason to believe he can win California,” the biggest state left in the primary process. It’s also worth remembering that Kasich is not running in Indiana, thanks to a recent (and shaky) alliance between Kasich and Cruz.
On the Democratic side: Although Bernie Sanders is practically out of the race due to delegate math, a win in Indiana could make it easier for him to make it to the highly-anticipated California primary. Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, is leading slightly in the polls, despite having spent little time or money campaigning in Indiana. If Clinton loses in the state, it wouldn’t only help Sanders, but would reflect her weak popularity amongst mostly white states.
Polls close at 6 p.m. Eastern time in Indiana, and 6 p.m. Central time for a sliver of the state’s western edge. Check back here for updates.
