Republican presidential hopeful Sen. Ted Cruz prevailed in Tuesday night's GOP presidential primary in Wisconsin, notching his biggest victory over real estate mogul Donald Trump since the Iowa caucuses.
Cruz's showing in the Badger State is welcome news to establishment forces who have rallied behind the Texas conservative in an attempt to deny the controversial front-runner the necessary delegates to assume the party's nomination. Trump's inability to expand his delegate lead in Wisconsin also increases the chances of a contested convention later this summer in Cleveland.
