Ted Cruz is projected to win the Idaho primary. The networks called his victory at a little after midnight ET.

Cruz visited the state earlier in this week, and the shooting of a Idaho pastor who delivered a prayer at Cruz campaign rally there made national headlines. (The pastor is recovering and the suspect was arrested outside the White House Tuesday evening.)

He defeated Rubio, who also visited the state, and overall had a terrible night Tuesday. The GOP frontrunner Donald Trump did not even visit the state ahead of the primary.

Cruz had the endorsement of Idaho GOP Rep. Raúl Labrador.
