"The GOP presidential field dropped by one candidate on Tuesday night, but Republicans are still no closer to uniting behind a nominee," reports NPR's Jessica Taylor.
Democrats, however, did get more clarity as Hillary Clinton racked up more wins over Bernie Sanders, extending her delegate lead and complicating the Vermont senator's nomination calculation.
