Washington – Ted Cruz won most of the delegates in the Wisconsin primary, increasing the likelihood of a contested convention.
Cruz has won at least 33 delegates in Wisconsin and Donald Trump has won at least three. Six delegates are still up for grabs, pending the outcome in two congressional districts.
Trump still has a narrow path to claim the nomination by the end of the primaries on June 7. He must win 57 percent of the remaining delegates to win the nomination before the convention. So far, he is winning just 46 percent.
Tuesday’s outcome increases the importance of the five remaining winner-take-all states: Delaware, Nebraska, Montana, New Jersey and South Dakota.
The AP delegate count:
Trump: 740.
Cruz: 514.
John Kasich: 143.
Needed to win: 1,237.
