WASHINGTON (AP) - Ted Cruz, who won Oklahoma and his home state of Texas, is calling for some of his Republican rivals to drop out.
Though he did not mention Marco Rubio or John Kasich by name, he made it clear that he felt they should drop out so Republicans could consolidate around him as a viable alternative to Trump.
He asked them "prayerfully consider" the future of their campaigns.
He declared that as long as the Republican field remained divided, Donald Trump would have a path to nomination, which he declared "a total disaster" for his party.
He noted repeatedly that he is only other candidate to win a state: he also captured Iowa last month.
Trump has won Georgia, Virginia, Alabama, Massachusetts, Tennessee and Arkansas on Super Tuesday.
