Indiana's primary is a turning point in the GOP race
- 8 years ago
Donald Trump, with a big lead in the polls in Indiana and the Republican presidential nomination within his reach, kept attacking his GOP rivals on the eve of the state’s primary.
But Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, who is locked in a tighter race here, all but ignored her opponent Monday as she looked ahead to the general election.
Sweeping Indiana’s 57 delegates won’t deliver the 1,237 needed to secure the GOP nomination, but it would significantly ease Mr. Trump’s way toward doing that in the last primaries, including California, on June 7.
The latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News/Marist poll of Indiana shows Mr. Trump with a 15-point lead and Mrs. Clinton ahead by 4 points.
