Donald Trump won Tuesday's Republican primary in Indiana, The Associated Press and several news networks projected just after the last polls closed, handing Trump his seventh straight win. With 70 percent of precincts reporting, Trump has 53 percent of the vote, to 37 percent for Ted Cruz and 8 percent for John Kasich. Indiana was considered a must-win state for Cruz, who had reached a deal with Kasich to let him compete head-to-head with the real estate billionaire.
