WASHINGTON (AP) - The Latest on the 2016 presidential campaign ahead of Tuesday's high-stakes Indiana primary (all times Eastern Daylight Time):

1:16 p.m.

Donald Trump says Republicans, "have fallen out of love" with his main GOP rival, Ted Cruz.

The GOP front-runner spoke in the closing days of the Indiana primary in an effort to cement his hold on the Republican presidential nomination.

Cruz, who is trailing Trump badly in delegates, has placed a strong emphasis on Indiana and a loss here in Tuesday's primary could be crippling toward his campaign. Trump taunted that Cruz was "way down in the polls."

The rally in Terre Haute, the first of four scheduled for Indiana over the next two days, puts Trump in a bellwether county that has voted for the winning candidate in the general presidential election 30 out of 32 times since 1888.

Donald Trump's top adviser says the GOP front-runner is willing to help House and Senate Republicans raise money to maintain their congressional majorities.

Paul Manafort said on CBS's "Face the Nation" Sunday that Trump "has indicated that he is going to work with leaders of the Republican Party and various committees to help raise money for them."

Trump has recently picked up support from some members of Congress, including Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama and two House committee chairmen. But it's not clear that the GOP campaign committees or other lawmakers want Trump's help. After Trump said Hillary Clinton's main qualification for the presidency is her gender, New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte, who is in a tough re-election battle, said Friday that women leaders expect to be "judged just on our qualifications and merit."

Also on CBS, Sen. Lindsey Graham, who supports Trump rival Ted Cruz, urged Republicans to stay far from any association with Trump because, Graham said, Trump is not a conservative.

Bernie Sanders has brought in about $26 million in April in his primary challenge to Hillary Clinton, marking one year on Sunday in his insurgent bid for the Democratic nomination.

Sanders' fundraising total for the month was a steep decline from the $46 million he raised in March, raising questions about whether he can sustain his powerful online money machine as his path to the nomination has substantially narrowed against Clinton.

Look out for Bernie Sanders to help front-runner Donald Trump compete against Democrat Hillary Clinton.

Not purposely, of course. But the Republican front-runner says that he'll use Sanders' sound bite calling Clinton unqualified later in the campaign. Trump didn't mention that Sanders has since retreated from his own comment and said that Clinton, a lawyer, former senator and onetime secretary of state, is intelligent and experienced.

On "Fox News Sunday," Trump said Sanders' comments back up his own charge that Clinton is only a viable candidate because she's a woman.

He spoke ahead of Tuesday's Indiana primary, with 57 GOP delegates at stake. Trump, Clinton, Sanders and GOP rival Ted Cruz have events in the state Sunday. Clinton also is delivering a speech to the NAACP in Detroit.
