Winners And Losers From The New York Primary (Video)

Apr 20, 2016

The New York primary is in the books! And it was a good day for the front-runners on the Democratic and Republican sides as Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump cruised to wins. Below I picked some winners and some losers from the night that was.

Winners

* Donald Trump: He’s baaaaaaaaack! Trump’s convincing statewide win should net him almost all of New York’s 95 delegates, a win that effectively erases the gains Ted Cruz made in recent weeks. Sure, New York was Trump’s home state, and there hasn’t been a shred of polling to suggest he was even close to vulnerable in it. But winning where you are supposed to win — and doing it by large enough margins to rack up big delegate gains — is a critical piece of Trump’s chances at getting to 1,237 delegates on the first ballot at the Republican National Convention.

* Hillary Clinton: The former secretary of state just keeps winning where she needs to keep winning. While a narrow loss in New York would have done next to nothing to puncture her clear delegate lead, it would have been a massive symbolic blow to her efforts to unite the party behind her. Knowing that, the candidate and the campaign focused relentlessly on the Empire State even while weathering a series of losses to Bernie Sanders in smaller, less delegate-rich states. Mission accomplished.
