New York Democratic Primary Results: Hillary Clinton Is the Projected Winner

— -- ABC News projects Hillary Clinton will win 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.

"In this campaign, we've won in every region of the country, from the north to the south to the east to west, but this one's personal. New Yorkers, you've always had my back and I've always tried to have yours," she added.

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.

Clinton's win was largely expected by political insiders.

The former secretary of state, who represented New York in the Senate for eight years, had been leading all New York state polls by double digits in the week prior to the primary.
