Five more states ─ Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Delaware, Maryland and Connecticut ─ will hold presidential primaries on Tuesday. Front-runners Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are expected to do well in the Democratic and Republican contests.
With time and primary opportunities dwindling, Republicans John Kasich and Ted Cruz made an unusual deal not to compete with each other in the upcoming primaries in Indiana, New Mexico and Oregon. In all of this, each candidate is trying to convince primary voters that he or she is the most electable. But do they have evidence to back up their claims?
On “Morning Edition,” Denis O’Hayer got a truth check from Jim Tharpe, editor of PolitiFact Georgia ─ which appears in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
