Ted Cruz confronted a Donald Trump supporter in Marion, Indiana._ by [Zeke Miller](https://time.com/author/zeke-j-miller/) ## Zeke Miller May 3, 2016 1:55 PM UTC Ted Cruz confronted a Donald Trump supporter in Marion, Indiana. by [Zeke Miller](https://time.com/author/zeke-j-miller/) ## Zeke Miller May 3, 2016 1:55 PM UTC It’s primary day in Indiana (all polls close by 7 p.m. Eastern), where **Ted Cruz**‘s best hope is to keep **Donald Trump** from 1,237 delegates and force a contested convention. But things are not looking up for Cruz, who is finding that barnstorming the state, picking a veep and millions in television ads aren’t enough to overcome the distaste with which he is viewed by many in the GOP. He’d even scored the support of establishment figures and convinced his rival, **John Kasich** to clear the field in the state. For years Cruz has argued that his absolutist strain of conservatism would win if only given a chance, and for months he has promised victory over Trump in a head-to-head match-up. Both of those hypotheses will be tested to and likely to be proven false. For Cruz, it will be a crumbling of the myth he helped create—of a silent crop of millions of conservatives who have stayed home in recent elections just waiting for a savior like him to turn them out to the polls. For Trump, a win won’t put him over the needed figure, but makes him almost certain to reach the majority of delegates before the convention in July. **Hillary Clinton** is campaigning in Appalachia as she works to mitigate some of the damage done in the divisive Democratic Primary. Months after promising fewer coal jobs, Clinton is touting an economic revitalization plan for the region, but is finding a hostile reception. She is not the only candidate pivoting, with Trump testing out new lines of attack on Clinton Monday as he senses victory afoot in Indiana. Attorney General **Loretta Lynch** talks to TIME about the need for criminal justice reform. Trump’s lagging behind on general election preparation.
