November's US presidential election is taking shape: Republican billionaire Donald Trump and Democratic power player Hillary Clinton look set for an ugly battle for the White House after a bruising primary season.
Trump knocked out his only serious challenger Ted Cruz on Tuesday in Indiana's key primary, winning 53 percent of the vote against 37 percent for the Texas senator, who raised the white flag and surprisingly pulled out of the race.
Over the course of the past 10 months, the 69-year-old Trump -- a Manhattan real estate mogul with no political experience -- has defied the odds, dispatching more than a dozen rivals with more conventional political pedigrees.
"We'll unify the party. We're going to get people together," Trump said. Wednesday on Fox News after seizing the mantle of Republican standard-bearer.
On Tuesday, he trained his sights on the 68-year-old Clinton, the former secretary of state and first lady who is seeking to make history as America's first female commander-in-chief.
"We're going after Hillary Clinton," the billionaire real estate mogul told jubilant supporters gathered at Trump Tower in New York to celebrate the victory.
"We're going to win in November, and we're going to win big."
