Trump Projected To Win GOP Primary

Clinton Projected To Win Democratic Primary
ABC News projects Hillary Clinton will win the New York Democratic primary, based on vote analysis. According to preliminary exit poll analysis, seven in 10 New York Democratic voters said they think Clinton will be the eventual nominee. Moreover, two-thirds of voters said she has a better chance of beating Republican front-runner Donald Trump in November than her competitor Bernie Sanders. The state's 247 delegates will be awarded proportionally.

Hillary Clinton is expected to win her adopted home state tonight -- though Sen. Bernie Sanders has been tightening the gap in recent days, every poll has had her winning New York. "It's definitely fair to say if Sanders hasn't really shown the ability to win these races outright, then his path to the nomination will look pretty nonexistent," said Phillip Wallach, a senior fellow in governance studies at the Brookings Institution.
