California Republicans who were hoping to slow Donald Trump's momentum now have much less incentive to vote in the June primary. Take Two analyzes the impact.

Republican Donald Trump dominated the Indiana primaries Tuesday, sweeping up over 53 percent of the vote. Before the final numbers were in, challenger Ted Cruz was out:

Trump, meanwhile, struck a slightly more conciliatory tone in his victory speech:

The Cruz concession makes two things clear: Donald Trump is now the presumptive Republican nominee, and California, which holds its primary on June 7th, won’t have a say in the matter.

UPDATE: John Kasich has dropped out, making Donald Trump the sole GOP candidate.
