Trump Wins GOP Primary
ABC News projected that Donald Trump won the New York Republican primary, based on exit poll analysis, scoring a win in his home state. Walking out to Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New York,” Trump took the podium at Trump Tower in Manhattan to give his victory speech. “I have to say to the people that know me the best, the people of New York, when they give us this kind of a vote and it's just incredible,” Trump said, adding, “We're going to end up at a very high level and get a lot more delegates than anybody projected, even in their wildest imaginations.”

Clinton Wins Democratic Primary
ABC News projected Hillary Clinton won the New York Democratic primary, based on vote analysis. With 87 percent of the expected vote in, Clinton leads with 57 percent of the vote compared to Sanders' 43 percent. The state's pledged 247 delegates will be awarded proportionally. There are an additional 44 superdelegates also up for grabs. In her acceptance speech, Clinton said tonight's win was deeply personal. "Today you proved, once again, there's no place like home," she said.

Cruz's Path to Nomination Gets More Complicated
After Tuesday’s New York primary, it is now mathematically impossible for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz to clinch the Republican presidential nomination before the July convention using only bound, or pledged, delegates. ABC News has projected GOP front-runner Donald Trump will win the primary based on exit poll analysis; Trump will receive an estimated 66 delegates. That’s enough to block Cruz from having any chance of reaching the requisite 1,237 delegates needed before this summer’s Republican National Convention.

Democratic Primary Exit Poll Analysis
Who turned out in Tuesday's New York primary and what motivated their votes? Hillary Clinton’s resume, her position on gun policy, her support from women and New York Democrats’ racial and ethnic diversity all boosted her fortunes in the state’s presidential primary, but comparatively weak ratings for honesty dogged her – and Bernie Sanders pushed back with support from white men, young voters, strong liberals and those especially worried about the economy. http://abcn.ws/1S97s7R

Republican Primary Exit Poll Analysis
Who turned out in Tuesday's New York primary and what motivated their votes? Record levels of demand for an outsider, a straight-talker and a change agent lifted Donald Trump to an easy primary victory in his home state, even while – underscoring the party’s deep rifts – a remarkable six in 10 of his opponents’ backers said they wouldn’t support him in November. Trump, in by far his biggest win to date, benefited from a sense among most New York Republican primary voters that he’s got the best chance to beat Hillary Clinton were she the Democratic nominee in November – and from a record number of early deciders in GOP primaries to date, another sign of his home-state advantage. http://abcn.ws/1XHqd2C
