The Republican presidential primary race, once a frenzied sprint of rallies and retail stops, has become a grind-it-out slog. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas is opening up two fronts against Donald J. Trump — trying to peel away delegates in New York, where they will be allocated by congressional district unless Mr. Trump clears 50 percent, and in Wisconsin, where he hopes to win outright.
Mr. Cruz was in both states on Wednesday, beginning his morning with an event to sway New Yorkers — the ones with and without “New York values,” apparently — and later in Wisconsin, where he appeared with Charlie Sykes, a local radio host whose main subject matter has been the state’s governor, Scott Walker. In New York, he was on the defensive over the Police Department’s criticism of his call for surveilling Muslim communities.
Mr. Trump did not campaign publicly, but throughout the day he and Mr. Cruz traded barbs and Twitter posts over an ad that ran in Utah highlighting a nude photo shoot by the New Yorker’s wife, the former model Melania Trump. Mr. Cruz continued to defend his wife against Mr. Trump’s vague threat to “spill the beans” about her.

A stark contrast: @realDonaldTrump has been funding leftwing Dems for 40 years. I have no experience with that.https://t.co/5NLY6r5IVU
