2:36 am
after the speech wrapped cruz walked off stage but his wife heidi came back out to hug supporters, tearful at times, telling them the fight goes on. her husband echoed that same message in his speech. >> i am not suspending our fight to defend the constitution. to defend the judeo-christian values that built america. our movement will continue. and i give you my word that i will continue this fight with all of my strength and all of my ability. >> reporter: ted cruz had two campaign stops scheduled for later today in nebraska and washington state. he now heads home to texas. diane and kendis. >> josh, thank you. and of course john kasich is still in the running and we will as always continue to monitor all developments on the campaign trail. turning now to some relentless rain that's still plaguing parts of the south. it likely played a role in the

(laughing) (colonial penn jingle) you may know what it's like to deal with high... and low blood sugar. januvia (sitagliptin) is a once-daily pill that, along with diet and exercise, helps lower blood sugar. januvia wos when your blood sugar is high and works less when your blood sugar is low, because it works by enhancing your body's own ability to lower blood sugar. plus januvia, by itself, is not likely to cause weight gain or low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). januvia should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. tell your doctor if you have a history of pancreatitis. serious side effects can happen, including pancreatitis which may be severe and lead to death.
2:45 am
stop taking januvia and call your doctor right away if you have severe pain in your stomach area which may be pancreatitis. tell your doctor right away and stop taking januvia if you have an allergic reaction that causes swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, or affects your breathing or causes rash or hives. kidney problems sometimes requiring dialysis have been reported. some people may develop severe joint pain. call your doctor if this happens. using januvia with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. to reduce the risk, your doctor may prescribe a lower dose of the sulfonylurea or insulin. your doctor may do blood tests before and during treatment to check your kidneys. if you have kidney problems a lower dose may be prescribed. side effects may include upper respiratory tract infection, stuffy or runny nose, sore throat, and headache. for help lowering your blood sugar talk to your doctor about januvia. hold on tight, everybody. so for surfers often the bigger the wave the better.

for enduring some unruly infants on board. could it be a new trend? offering free flying for putting up with crying. we're going to investigate in "the mix" on this wednesday may the 4th. >> announcer: from abc news this is "world news now." good morning. i'm diane macedo. >> and i'm kendis gibson. may we be the first and hopefully the last to say may the 4th be with you. >> may the 4th be with you. >> every year we look forward to that. >> we do? >> yes. >> that as well as on april 30th saying it's going to be may. >> we missed that one this year. >> we did. because it was on a sunday. but man, it's been a bruising, literally bruising and physically bruising campaign. >> tough day for the cruz family today. >> did you see this video? so after ted cruz bounced out of the race, he then kind of accidentally hits his wife in the face twice. >> it was hard to watch, particularly for his wife, because she got hit twice.
3:02 am
>> she got hit twice. but it really gives you a sense of how bruising this has been for many of them. the candidates and their wives. >> an honest mistake, clearly. he was trying to go in for the one hug and she was trying to go in for the triple hug. >> and then she got -- >> we've all been there, right? >> not quite. but it's been tough. >> we have to talk about more seriously this sudden turn in the race for the white house. here is change, as donald trump delivers this crushing blow to ted cruz. >> and it was a surprise from cruz because after vowing to fight all the way to the convention he abruptly dropped out of the race saying his bruising loss in indiana leaves him with no viable path to victory. trump decisively winning the indiana primary, getting 53% of the vote compared to 37% for cruz. and he picked up at least 51 of the state's republican delegates, bringing his overall count to 1,049.
3:03 am
>> as for the democrats, bernie sanders edged out hillary clinton 52% to 48%. but they'll split the delegates almost evenly. clinton now has more than 2,200 delegates in all. and sanders needs to win 95% of the remaining delegates to clinch the nomination. it's "your voice/your vote" abc's marci gonzalez is live in indianapolis with more. good morning, marci. >> reporter: good morning, diane and kendis. an absolutely defining day in this race. you could just hear how shocked people were in the crowd here in indianapolis as ted cruz made that announcement. the republican race for president narrowing after a crushing loss in indiana. ted cruz dropping out. >> we gave it everything we've got. but the voters chose another path. we are suspending our campaign. >> reporter: and with that the head of the rnc tweeting that donald trump will be the presumptive gop nominee. trump celebrating and changing his tone about ted cruz. >> he is one hell of a competitor. he is a tough, smart guy. and he has got an amazing
3:04 am
future. >> reporter: now looking beyond the primaries and the convention in cleveland. >> we're going after hillary clinton. >> reporter: hillary clinton saying she too is now focused on the general election. despite abc news projecting bernie sanders will win the democratic primary in indiana. >> i feel good. i just feel generally good. >> reporter: and though abc estimates that it is mathematically impossible for sanders to clinch the nomination with only pledged delegates, sanders maintains his optimism. >> i sense some great victories coming. i understand that secretary clinton thinks this campaign is over. i've got some bad news for her. >> reporter: so he's staying in the race. and on the gop side so is john kasich. his chief strategist saying despite the odds against him he does plan to continue his campaign.
3:05 am
>> that's at even with only 8% last night in indiana. and marci, we kind of saw a softer side of trump last night after cruz announced he's suspending his campaign. but man, that's a different change in tone from earlier in the day. >> reporter: oh, it is a huge change in tone. just a few hours earlier, donald trump was on television, backing these claims made by the "national enquirer" that ted cruz's father had been connected to, even photographed with john f. kennedy's assassin lee harvey oswald. cruz and his father absolutely denying that and then cruz went on the attack, letting loose a barrage of insults, calling him a pathological liar, a serial philanderer, a bully. so after one of the most heated days in the campaign it was definitely a turn to hear those very positive, flattering words from donald trump. kendis and diane. >> it's going to be a while before things are healed between the two. >> i'm guessing so. >> all right. marci, thank you.
3:06 am
so the republican establishment has acknowledged what they've been fearing for a while. >> you saw it there in marci's report. the tweet by rnc chair reince priebus says donald trump will be the presumptive nominee, we all need to unite and focus on defeating hillary clinton. and for more on what it all means let's turn to abc news political director rick klein. good morning, rick. >> diane and kendis, donald trump taking ownership of the republican party, blowing away his rivals in indiana. now the all but inevitable republican nominee for president. ted cruz dropping out of the race after this embarrassing defeat. and trump doing it in his classic style. taking control of the party, its issues, its voters all bending to his will despite fact that all of his critics have massed in indiana. and now trump turning his sights on the general election. hillary clinton likely to be the democratic nominee but she suffers a big setback once again in indiana. no one has told the democratic party's primary voters this race is over. they are still massing for bernie sanders. bernie able to win in indiana. he may win some additional contests even if he can't catch

up in delegates. some big surprises delivered by indiana voters in both directions. much different directions for the two leading candidates almost certain to face each other. diane and kendis? >> rick, thanks so much. and donald trump's hometown papers are having a little fun with these primary results. the front page of today's "new york post" is emblazoned with this clever headline. "hoosier daddy." and the "new york daily news" stuffed the gop elephant into a casket and declared the death of the republican party. reince priebus is not going to be happy to see that one. >> no. some mixed results on the papers, the front lines here in new york. we're going to turn our focus overseas now. and secretary of state john kerry is out with a warning to syria as well as its allies. kerry said the target date for starting to move syrian president bashar al assad out of office is august 1st. kerry added that if the syrian government and its backers in russia and iran do not comply they risk the consequences of a new u.s. approach to ending the

3:09 am
the peshmerga did manage to push back the isis forces with the help of american fighter jets and armed drones. >> it shows you it's a serious fight that we have to wage in iraq. >> reporter: and americans are getting closer to the fight every day. like the s.e.a.l., they now travel outside the larger bases to smaller outposts like the ones we visited recently as they prepared to take back the isis-held town of mosul. the return of ground troops to iraq has been called a non-combat mission by the white house, but this death was the third american combat death in the last two years, and with u.s. forces now closer to the fight it will probably not be the last. martha raddatz, abc news, washington. >> and here in new york state he was once one of the most powerful men in the empire state, but sheldon silver now faces a long prison term. the former speaker of the state assembly was given 12 years following his conviction on corruption charges.

3:32 am
53% of the vote, compared to 37% for cruz. trump also picked up most if not all of indiana's republican delegates, leaving him about 200 shy of formally securing the nomination, and cruz could no longer deny the delegate math. >> together we left it all on the field in indiana. we gave it everything we've got. but the voters chose another path. and so with a heavy heart but with boundless optimism for the long-term future of our nation, we are suspending our campaign. >> donald trump actually heaped praise on cruz last night, calling him tough and a smart competitor with an amazing future. cruz's decision to give up the presidential bid came after

pulled off what was a much-needed victory in indiana. boosted by an influx of young white liberals. >> sanders ran competitively as well with hillary clinton among non-whites under the age of 45. polls show clinton's main weakness continues to be concerns about her honesty. sanders managed to defeat clinton 52% to 48%. but they will split indiana's delegates, leaving clinton with more than 2,200 overall. that means she only needs to pick up 17% of the remaining delegates to win the nomination. and the clinton camp is already turning its attention to the general election, saying that trump was too big of a risk to be president. >> they'll first need to win over sanders supporters, but sanders is saying not so fast. we get the latest right now from the democrats, from abc's mary alice parks. >> reporter: bernie sanders overnight combative and unwavering, saying his win in indiana will provide the momentum needed to keep his campaign alive. >> i understand that secretary clinton thinks that this
