Abstract

Following his defeat in Indiana’s primary election yesterday, Texas Senator Ted Cruz has suspended his presidential campaign, essentially handing the Republican Party’s nomination to Donald Trump. LSE US Centre Director Peter Trubowitz looks ahead to the general election, where Trump is now almost certain to face Hillary Clinton. He writes that while the odds – and demographics – currently favour Clinton, we should ignore talk of a landslide for the former Secretary of State. What is certain is that the coming presidential campaign is going to be an extremely negative one.
