Ted Cruz has won the Republican presidential caucuses in Kansas. The Texas senator went into Saturday’s voting looking to cement his status as the only realistic alternative to billionaire businessman Donald Trump in the race for the GOP nomination.

Forty delegates to the GOP national convention were at stake.

Both Cruz and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio battled to be seen as Trump’s main rival.

Cruz won even through Rubio had endorsements from Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback and U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts.

Cruz’s top endorsement came from tea party favorite and Congressman Tim Huelskamp in the 1st District of central and western Kansas. But many rank-and-file conservatives also backed him.

Trump had the support of Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach.

Turnout was heavy at many sites for the Kansas Democratic caucuses Saturday.

Supporters of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders lined the streets outside Liberty Memorial Central Middle School in Lawrence, a crowd much larger than had turned out for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton there. Though Clinton is the choice of former Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and other state party establishment figures, Clinton faced a surge of new voters and energized progressives supporting Sanders.

In Wichita, Democrats lined up down the block outside the machinists’ union headquarters to get in to caucus. In the end, there were too many people to fit into the union hall so the caucus was held outside.
