Ted Cruz raised fresh hope of forcing Donald Trump to a contested party convention on Tuesday, beating the Republican frontrunner in a Wisconsin primary amid signs his brash campaign style may finally be turning off GOP voters.
Cruz was projected by the Associated Press to have won the important midwest showdown just over half an hour after polls closed at 8pm CDT. As the scale of his victory across the state became clearer, the Texas conservative was estimated to have won at least 33 of the 42 delegates on offer, limiting Trump to just a handful.
In his victory speech, Cruz looked ahead to the convention in July and vowed he would win the 1,237 delegates needed “either before Cleveland or at the convention in Cleveland”.
Hillary Clinton also stumbled on her path to the White House, losing to Bernie Sanders in a Democratic primary that marked a sixth straight win for the Vermont outsider and shows his continued appeal among voters looking for radical change
