Kasich, Cruz to Coordinate in Bid to Defeat Trump

HeadlineApr 25, 2016

Ohio Governor John Kasich and Texas Senator Ted Cruz have announced plans to coordinate their campaigns in an effort to deny front-runner Donald Trump the Republican presidential nomination. Cruz’s campaign says it will focus on the May 3 primary in Indiana in order to allow Kasich to compete with Trump in Oregon and here in New Mexico. Both Kasich and Cruz are hoping to keep Trump from reaching the threshold of 1,237 delegates needed to secure the nomination before the July convention. If Trump stays below that threshold, it opens the possibility of a contested convention, where delegates could switch their votes away from the candidate chosen in their state’s primary or caucus after the initial convention ballot.
