Republican presidential candidates face important electoral battles in Arizona and Utah on Tuesday. In the winner-take-all state of Arizona, 58 delegates are up for grabs. In Utah, there are 40 delegates. Polls show Republican frontrunner Donald Trump on top in Arizona and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) dominating in Utah. If Cruz exceeds 50 percent in Utah, he'll sweep all 40 delegates; if not, the delegates will be divvied up among the field.

After Tuesday's contests, the GOP race goes quiet, with only one other primary (Wisconsin on April 5) for nearly a month.
