Cruz looks to be winning Maine caucus
It’s looking more and more like Republican Ted Cruz will win the Maine caucuses on Saturday, with unofficial reports saying he won at least five counties and Portland.
This is a bit of a surprise: Maine was expected to be a strong state for frontrunner Donald Trump, since he won New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Vermont.
But according to early tallies, Cruz is sweeping the state: He has apparently won Hancock, Androscoggin, Lincoln, Waldo, and Kennebec counties, plus Portland — everywhere that we’ve seen reports so far.
However, he’s not running so strong that he’s guaranteed all of Maine’s 23 delegates. To do that, he’ll have to get more 50 percent of votes.
