(CNSNews.com) - Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas suspended his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination as businessman Donald Trump won the Indiana Republican presidential primary.

With 98 percent of the vote counted, Trump had 53.3 percent of the vote, Cruz had 36.6 percent of the vote, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich had 7.6 percent of the vote.

"I've said that I would continue on as long as there was a viable path the victory," Cruz said in a concession speech tonight. "Tonight, I am sorry to say, it appears that path has been foreclosed. Together, we left it all on the field in Indiana. We gave it everything we've got, but the voters chose another path. So, with a heavy heart but with boundless optimism, for the long-term future of our nation, we are suspending our campaign.

"But hear me now," said Cruz, "I am not suspending our fight for liberty. I am not suspending our fight to defend the Constitution, to defend the Judeo-Christian values that built America."
