Delegate derby: Cruz and Rubio look to gain ground on Trump

GOP voters in Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, and Maine make t


Following a strong finish by Republican front-runner Donald Trump in the Super Tuesday contests, Sens. Marco Rubio of Florida and Ted Cruz of Texas are looking to catch up.

Today, voters in Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, and Maine will make their choice for the Republican presidential nominee. Democrats in Nebraska will join those in Kansas and Louisiana in casting ballots for their candidate. Democratic voters in Maine will caucus on Sunday.

Going into today, Trump has 329 delegates; Cruz has 231; and Rubio has 110. The eventual nominee will need to secure 1,237 delegates to win the nomination.

The Democratic field is much less evenly divided, with Hillary Clinton sure of 1,058 delegates to Sen. Bernie Sanders' 431. The eventual Democratic nominee needs to win 2,383 delegates to carry the convention.
