WICHITA, Kan. (CBSMiami) -- Texas Senator Ted Cruz has been projected as the winner of the Kansas and Maine caucuses.

He edged out Trump in Maine 46 - 33, making it the sixth win for Cruz, who took Alaska, Iowa, Oklahoma and Texas.

Cruz addressed the results at a rally in Idaho saying, "God bless Kansas. And God bless Maine."
