Sanders, Cruz beat Clinton, Trump in Wisconsin primary
Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz and Democratic hopeful Bernie Sanders have emerged victorious in the crucial Wisconsin presidential primary.
US media reported that the two as the dominant winners of the Tuesday primary, held in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election.
The results will serve as a major blow to the two parties' front runners, billionaire real estate mogul Donald Trump as well as former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The Vermont Democratic senator secured 57 percent of the votes and gained 44 delegates, while his rival, Clinton, 43 percent with 28 delegates.
On the Republican front, Cruz won 48 percent of the GOP votes while Trump gained 35.
Trump, who seeks to gain the 1,237 delegates to win the GOP’s nomination, is now looking forward to New York, just like Hillary who leads Sanders in the key state.
The result would further consolidate Cruz’s position as the main anti-Trump candidate as Ohio Governor John Kasich trails far behind.
If Cruz wins all of the state’s 42 delegates, Trump would need to win 57 percent of those remaining for nomination.
