Sen. Ted Cruz suspended his presidential campaign Tuesday after a devastating defeat in Indiana’s presidential primary, virtually assuring Donald Trump the GOP’s presidential nomination.

“We gave it everything we’ve got, but the voters chose another path,” Mr. Cruz said at his post-election party.
***
Speaking Tuesday night, Mr. Cruz did not mention Mr. Trump, but did call for a unity of purpose within the GOP in the fight for freedom and against security threats.

Suspending his bid does not forfeit Mr. Cruz’s delegates to the convention, but it means he’ll no longer actively compete for the nomination, leaving only Ohio Gov. John Kasich still in the race.
